As daylight hours get longer and the weather improves the police receive a significant amount of calls from local people relating to the nuisance and annoyance that mini-motos and other illegal motorcycles cause.
Inspector Sue Mills explained "The bikes are noisy and dangerous and more often than not we find that they are unlikely to be insured. Riders often take to their bikes without wearing a helmet too and the dangers of this are obvious."
Last month the Police issued 4 section 59 warnings to offending riders and their vehicles in the Lacey Green area. If the rider or vehicle is seen again the police can then seize and destroy the vehicle to prevent it being ridden again anti socially.
Inspector Mills added "We will continue to give this problem attention.
"If you see any vehicles being used in an anti social manner then please call us on 101 to report this so that we can take action."
