Four cyclists have been arrested after going the wrong way on the Mountain Road, while the route was closed.
Police say the cyclists were apprehended while the route was shut as emergency services dealt with an incident earlier today.
The cyclists were riding in two separate pairs and stopped at the East Mountain Box.
Police confirmed they've now been detained for contravening a closed road and contravening the one-way system on the A18.
Officers say the actions of the cyclists are not only dangerous for themselves, but other road users.
Cycling is not permitted on the Mountain Road throughout the festival fortnight.
