The wild convoy first kicked off in Southdownview Way, Worthing, at around 9.15pm. Drivers then raced down Old Shoreham Road in Hove before speeding towards Peacehaven. Their reckless behaviour sparked serious concerns and a rapid police crackdown.

Coming into effect at 10.15pm Friday and running until 10.14am Sunday, the dispersal order empowers officers to break up any vehicle gatherings across Sussex. Anyone flouting the order faces arrest.
