KEY POINTS:
Two Auckland police officers allegedly caught racing on a motorway are to appear in court.
Auckland motorways police manager Inspector Dave Walker said the officers were at least 40km/h over the speed limit and had their licences suspended immediately.
The officers were dobbed in last week by colleagues who spotted the men on an Auckland motorway, a Sunday newspaper reported today.
Mr Walker said "pretty straightforward" charge of speeding would be heard before the court.
Police would not comment on any internal disciplinary action the officers may face. The officers had not been stood down from duties.
