Police officers on off-road bikes have stepped up patrols across Gedling borough in a bid to crack down on anti-social behaviour and illegal activity.
A day of action took place on November 8 across the borough with officers targeting hotspots in Gedling and Arnold, Bestwood Country Park. Calverton Colliery and Church Lane Recreation Ground.
Whilst on patrols, officers were alerted to a modified electric bike being ridden on pavements and through alleyways, this was located and found to be a throttle operated electric bike, which is classified as an electric motorcycle. The bike was seized by officers under section 165 of the road traffic act 1988 for not having any insurance.
A spokesman for Nottinghamshire Police said: “If you see any of our off-road bike officers whilst out and about feel free to stop and have a chat, whether it be concerns you have, information you wish to pass on or advice on legal locations and requirements to riding off road.“
To report issues to the team please contact 101 or 999 to report accordingly.
