Three cyclists who were caught going the wrong way on the Mountain Road while it was closed yesterday have received a caution.

The road was shut while emergency services dealt with an incident, and two pairs of cyclists were arrested for contravening the closure and one way system.

Police say one pair was a father and son from Swindon and the other was two brothers from Leeds, with all but the son receiving a caution.

Cyclists are reminded they're not permitted to use the Mountain Road during TT.
