POLICE closed all three lanes of the M27 near junction five shortly before 11am this morning for a training exercise.
They were learning how to get a car that fails to stop off the motorway by using four police cars to surround a vehicle.
A police spokesman said the closure of the westbound carriageway only took place for a short while and that it was necessary for police to practise such manoeuvres on motorways.
