NUISANCE MOTORBIKES - STONYDELPH

We continue to receive complaints about vehicles using foot & cycle-paths and riding on grassed areas. Offenders are using motorbikes, scooters, quad bikes in and around various estates causing members of the public harassment alarm and distress.

The most recent reports relate to quad bikes and other off-road motorbikes riding up and down the cycle-path known as Stonydelph Lane. Pictured is a red quad bike which has been seen often and suspected to be frequenting if not residing in the vicinity of Holwick.

I have conducted patrols both on foot and even taken a Police vehicle along their route but have had no joy in getting hold of them.

Obviously catching these vehicles on the move is no easy task therefore we require information in regards to who is responsible, where they come from and where they are going etc.

If anybody knows what addresses these vehicles are coming from or going to you can pass this information to us by replying to this alert or by using the online form or LiveChat at www.staffordshire.police.uk  

We require this information to have a significant impact of this type of anti-social behaviour. Our intention is to take positive action against all offending parties which will include parents who are allowing these behaviours.

Our response:

* That offenders are dealt with appropriately and robustly – to reduce reoffending

* Seize illegal motorbikes at every opportunity we have

* To significantly reduce the motorbike-related antisocial behaviour in Tamworth
