Gedling‘s dedicated police team has provided an update on action taken on Monday night to crack down on anti-social driving following complains from residents.

The Operation Reacher team carried out patrols in the area as part of ‘Operation Triplefin’

They said that 10 warning letters were issued, three section 59 warnings were handed out for anti-social driving and an arrest was made and a charge issued for drink-driving.

Police called the operation a ‘success’

A spokesman said: “With the work carried out by officers, we received no calls of anti-social driving that night.”

Councillors, police, and residents have been working together to combat the spike in anti-social driving across Gedling Borough.

People riding unregistered motorbikes and dirt bikes have been doing wheelies down streets, going onto pavements, and riding through alleyways in the area.

There has also been an increase in speeding and car meets in the area.

Vehicles are getting into the industrial carpark behind Stratford Close in Colwick performing donuts and making a large amount of noise.
