Fury as supercar 'wedding party' with blaring music turns road into four day ‘warzone’

A “wedding” celebration with a procession of revving sports cars through Telford and blaring music has enraged residents with one saying it sounded like a “warzone”.

Lamborghinis and Ferraris are said to have cruised through the streets of the Shropshire town while flares and fireworks were let off and music continued until 3am, reports Birmingham Live.

Footage shows the sports cars and men standing around in suits for the alleged wedding that is believed to have started on Friday June 25 and run through until the following Monday evening.

A resident tweeted: "It was heard across Telford so not sure if more than one place setting them off but the ones in my road felt like a warzone.

"They did on Friday too. A weekend of wedding celebrations. It has been rather irritating to us neighbours as we've had music going at 3am!"

Twitter and Facebook were full of similarly angry comments from people who had been affected by the chaos.

A Facebook user wrote: “"A crazy number of cars were parked on the verges, pathways, in the bus stop and right on the road.

"Also a number of sports models were blocking the road. I reported it to the police at the request of one of the older guests. This was very worrying.

"Drivers struggled to get through and the guests concerned seemed reluctant to move their cars.

"One man who was stuck in the jam was on his way to the hospital."

An Arleston Neighbourhood Watch group tweeted: "Absolutely fuming that fireworks are still being set off at this time of night.

"So many residents have had to put up with this for the last four nights, it's not fair at all. Wedding or no wedding, this is not an appropriate time for fireworks to be set off."

West Mercia Police have confirmed reports of “anti-social behaviour and dangerous driving in and around Arleston and Leegomery”.

Insp Mike Phillips of North Telford Safer Neighbourhood Team said: "We acknowledge the behaviours of those responsible showed very little respect for their neighbours and wider community.

"I’d like to reassure the public that all reports of anti-social behaviour and dangerous driving are taken extremely seriously.

"Officers from the Safer Neighbourhood Team will be in contact with those that reported these incidents to us and we will be reviewing dashcam footage as part of the investigation.”
