In response to a surge in dangerous motorcycle and quad bike activity, Humberside Police have launched a series of operations to tackle the issue
Humberside Police say they are "very much aware" of an increase in the issues with problem motorcycles and quad bikes being ridden around Bridlington in a dangerous manner.
Officers say:
"They are a risk to other road users, cause damage to land and crops, and they inflict misery on the community around them. For obvious reasons catching them is not always an easy task, however any machines found being ridden illegally will be seized and disposed of whilst the offenders will be dealt with."
On Wednesday, September 18th, the first operation was conducted aimed at tackling the individuals responsible, it involved officers from the Specialist Ops Unit, Op Yellowfin officers, and Neighbourhood officers.
The team, equipped with powerful off-road motorcycles, was supported by Humberside Fire and Rescue Service, who utilized advanced drone technology to track and apprehend offenders.
Officers say:
"As a result of the excellent team work, on this occasion another illegal Quad bike was removed from the streets. Such resources will continue to attend Bridlington unannounced in the future, but we still need your help. Please report any information regarding these machines and riders to us via 101, or anonymously via Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111. Thank you."
