A 24-year-old driver in Larnaca was arrested for driving almost twice over the speed limit, police said on Sunday.

Officers intercepted the vehicle at 11:15pm on Saturday on Spyrou Kyprianou at 95km/h instead of 50km/h which was the legal limit.

The man was arrested on the spot and is set to be called to court at a later date.

Officers also confiscated a vehicle that a 23-year-old man was driving without a licence or insurance.
