Police have stepped their action against nuisance bikers in the borough by calling in the off-road bike team to patrol borough hotspots.
Officers for Gedling Neighbourhood Poling Team called in the specialist unit to combat nuisance bikers who they say have been ‘causing havoc in the community’.
The team headed out to parks and green areas including Colwick Country Park, Netherfield, Netherfield Lagoons, Burton Joyce, and Stoke Bardolph on the lookout for illegal bikers.
After receiving reports of an off-road bike churning up the ground at the football pitches on Coningswath Road, in Carlton, they headed straight over, but missed the offender on this occasion.
A spokesman for Gedling’s Neighbourhood Policing Team said: “We’ve been receiving reports of nuisance off-road bikes being ridden in and around the Gedling borough area illegally and causing distress to our communities.
“Any intelligence we get from people in our community is a big help in catching nuisance bikers and stopping them.
“We’re working hard to crack down on this type of antisocial behaviour but need your help to call it in if you spot any illegal bikers causing a nuisance.”
If you see an off-road bike or have any information on hotspot areas report it to us by calling 101.
