Two of the men were tested positive for drugs and were arrested.
Two of the men were also found to be driving without licences or insurance.
All three vehicles were seized.
The tweet gained more than a thousand likes and was even the source of inspiration for a limerick by @PenaltyTicket:
‘There were three BMW blokes,
Who raced up North for a joke,
But they failed to see
The unmarked PC,
Now it's a long walk back to the smoke.”
