Five off-road vehicles seized following dangerous riding spree in Preston
Five off-road vehicles were seized by police following dangerous and anti-social riding in Preston.
Three off-road bikes and a quad bike were spotted riding recklessly in the Moor Park area at around 4:20pm yesterday.
Police tracked the vehicles to Brockholes Brow, where all four were seized, and the riders were issued Section 59 warnings.
Today, officers patrolling the Ribbleton area spotted another bike being ridden in an anti-social manner.
The rider, who was not wearing protective headgear, was reported for driving offences, and the bike was seized.
Insp Dave Byrne, from Preston’s Neighbourhood Policing Team, said: “Off-road vehicle nuisance is something that has been raised as an issue by our local communities, so it’s great to see that these vehicles have now been taken off our streets and are no longer able to cause issues for those living in the area.”
