CHESHIRE Police is set to be featured on Channel 5's Motorway Cops tonight.

The Road and Crimes Unit (RCU) will be on our screens at 8pm this evening, which will see the police attempt to tackle the county's speeders.

This is not the first time that the RCU has been featured on the show, either.

In September 2021 the team was on Motorway Cops for eight episodes, as they cracked down on road crime in Cheshire.

Since the show started in March 2021, it has had rave reviews online, with 83 per cent of viewers responding positively.

The RCU was in action again last week, handling serious incidents and dangerous drivers within the county.

Last week's episode featured PCs Matt Turner and Ian Cosgrove attending a terrifying collision between an 11-year-old pedestrian and a van in Middlewich and PC Chris Swashing tracking down two rogue wheelbarrows which had detached themselves from a flatbed truck in the middle of the M53.

The latest episode comes after Cheshire and Merseyside Police announced 'Operation Crossbow,' which is aimed at increasing the visibility of 'everyday policing,' according to Chief Superintendent Alison Ross.

Announcing the operation, Ch Supt Ross said: "What we're doing is drawing attention to the work we do every day; this is daily policing - we're just bringing attention to it.

"This is a big show of strength against cross-border crime."
