Off-Road Motorbikes

Dear Residents and Businesses,

We are seeing a rise in reports of off-road motorbikes now that the weather is getting warmer. We are doing our best to tackle this issue, and we have recovered six stolen motorbikes in the last 9 days from local green-spaces. The team are actively putting intelligence together around illegal and stolen bikes, the people using them and where they are being kept. 

The use of Off Road bikes is illegal and that we will work with partners to address those that are persistently using these bikes in an antisocial manner. This could result in action against people’s tenancies for their homes, alongside any criminal enforcement that is taken by Police. 

We ask that you remain vigilant and where safe to do so, take as much detail about the rider or the bikes, including distinguishing colours of clothing, bikes or any key locations where these bikes start and report this to Police so we can continue to build on the wealth of information that people are providing in relation to this issue.
