We’ve launched a crackdown on off-road bikers who have been causing a nuisance in the Eastfield area.
The operation has been set up in response to a series of complaints from residents about anti-social riding.
It got off to a fast start on Sunday (12 January 2025) when we caught three riders and seized three bikes at The Dell.
PC Zac Waterman, from the Eastfield and Filey Neighbourhood Policing Team, said: “We know this is a big issue on the estate and one that gets a lot of complaints.
“To help deal with the situation, we have put together a problem-solving plan to target the illegal riders.
“We are continuing to work with our Response team and Specialist Operations colleagues, including the force’s off-road bike team and the use of unmarked police vehicles so we can catch the offenders in the act.”
PC Waterman is urging residents to report information about the key locations where it is happening, and to pass information to the police in confidence or anonymously about where the suspected offenders live so robust action can be taken.
If you can help the new operation, please email PC Waterman in confidence at [email protected] or call 101, option 2, and ask for Zac Waterman.
There is also the option of passing information anonymously via Crimestoppers by calling 0800 555111 or by making an online report.
