Sussex Police said it stopped and searched a vehicle at the side of the motorway near to Clacket Lane services on Tuesday evening (May 29).

The two arrested have travelled to the county as part of the Hells Angels Motorcycle Club (HAMC) 'Euro Run' that is being held at an East Surrey hotel this weekend (May 30 to June 1).


Up to 3,000 bikers are expected in the county (link is external) for the three-day event, with major disruption likely as the event culminates in a 700 motorcycle ride out to Brighton.

Officers from Surrey Police (link is external) and Sussex Police have had leave and rest days cancelled to cover the event, among others.
