Special constables will be handing out chocolate and balloons to motorists in an anti-speeding blitz.

Officers will fan out across rural Worcestershire on Saturday as part of a campaign designed to encourage drivers to motor safely and to consider joining the volunteer force.

The sweeteners will be distributed from information stands erected near speed checks in Kidderminster, Redditch and Bromsgrove.

North Worcestershire Specials Commandant Chris Cookson said: "The event is about working with the community to educate drivers about speed and road safety.

"We hope it will encourage people to think not only about speed and road safety-related issues, but also about becoming a special."
