A brazen man and a woman reportedly stripped off and had SEX in front of passengers on a National Express coach as it traveled along the motorway through Devon.

The nude romp happened after 10pm on Monday, March 4, and the pair involved had met for the first time on the near 10 hour long service from Manchester to Exeter.

Devon & Cornwall Police say they caught up with the infatuated couple after the driver screeched the bus to a halt on a hard shoulder of the M5 near Cullompton.

A 32-year-old woman and a 29-year-old man were arrested and taken into custody at a police station in Exeter.

The jaw dropping incident stunned passengers who had bought tickets to ride the service.
