TWO more arrests have been made in connection with a "Fast and Furious" car meet in Winchester.
Police officers investigating dangerous driving and other offences at a car meet last month have arrested the men on suspicion of perverting the course of justice.
The pair, from Wales, had already been interviewed as part of ongoing enquiries into a meet which started in Winchester on Saturday, September 21, and ended around four hours later in Southsea.

It is alleged they misled officers in these interviews, and yesterday (October 13), police arrested the men, 21 and 32, both from Caerphilly, Wales, on suspicion of perverting the course of justice.
The 32-year-old had previously been arrested on suspicion of dangerous driving as part of the investigation, while the 21-year-old had attended a voluntary interview.
A total of seven have now been arrested and seven cars have been seized.
While conducting a search of the 21-year-old's address, police also located cannabis and some items believed to indicate an intent to supply drugs and a zombie knife.
Chief Inspector Emma Hart, from Hampshire & Isle of Wight Constabulary's Roads Policing Unit, said: "Our teams continue to work hard to identify anyone involved in alleged offences during the car meet last month.

"The kind of dangerous driving and anti-social behaviour seen at this meet has a considerable effect on our communities, something we take extremely seriously.
"Our investigation is not about preventing those genuine car enthusiasts from showing off their passion, but is about taking action against anyone using events as an opportunity to engage in criminal acts."
The car meet was held at the East Winchester Park and Ride in Bull Drove, Bar End, late on Saturday, September 21.
Nearby residents took to the social media platform Nextdoor to complain about the noise, with revving engines, back-firing and wheel spinning being heard across the city centre.
One user said: "Does anyone know what the loud banging noise is in central Winchester this evening? It’s driving our poor dog crazy."
Another posted: "Sounds like a scene out of The Fast and The Furious to me. Looks like Winchester is host to a car cruise tonight. How inconvenient!"
