Police have hailed a crackdown on illegal off-roading a success after a number of vehicles were stopped in Powys.

Officers checked 23 vehicles on a route popular with motorcyclists and 4×4 drivers in the Elan Valley, near Rhayader.

Two fixed penalty notices were issued for driving using a mobile phone and for no registration plate.

A warning was issued after officers seized a small amount of cannabis.
