Public urged to report illegal off-road bikers

Police say officers are cracking down on the illegal off-road and electric bikes and urged people to report them.

Nottinghamshire Police says three bikes were seized last weekend as officers went out on patrols in Eakring Road, Mansfield.

Section 59 notices - which apply to vehicles being driven or ridden in an antisocial manner - were also issued, the force added.

Officers warn riders any future contraventions involving those vehicles will result in their seizure and potential destruction.

Members of the public can also play their part by making reports and submitting photos, dashcam footage and witness accounts.

Inspector Kylie Davies said: "As we have said repeatedly in the past, this behaviour will not be tolerated.

"These individuals are putting other road users and pedestrians at risk with their selfish, dangerous and inconsiderate actions.

"They are putting themselves at risk not only of criminal prosecution, but also of very serious injury when they ride in the way that they do."
