Superintendent Michael Dalla-Costa from Road Policing Command said the actions were appalling and demonstrated a complete disregard for the safety of other road users.
“Driving at these extreme speeds is dangerous, irresponsible and entirely unacceptable," he said.
“Behaviour of this nature places every person on the road at immediate risk of serious injury or death and will not be tolerated under any circumstances.
“Those who choose to drive in this manner should expect to face significant consequences, including charges and the loss of their vehicles.”
