OFF-ROAD BIKES: Doncaster East Neighbourhood Policing team's 'swift action' tackling off-road bikes commended by MPs in parliament 👮 

Neighbourhood police officers in the east of Doncaster are continuing to make a difference and protect the public from dangerous off-road bikes, with their work recently recognised in parliament by the Home Secretary.

Tackling illegal off-road bikes remains a priority across the force and Doncaster East Neighbourhood Policing Team have been using an array of different tactics to crack down on this damaging anti-social behaviour.

After gathering information and intelligence from the public, officers have used drones and long lens cameras to track the whereabouts and movements of off-road bikes, leading to seizures and arrests.

They also regularly conduct high visibility patrols in hotspot areas and work alongside partners and our dedicated Motorcycle and Rural Crime Team to directly combat this issue.

Last week in parliament, Doncaster MP Lee Pitcher referenced Doncaster East NPT as he commended the team for their work in tackling off-road bikes, particularly in the Hatfield and Dunscroft areas.

He recognised how "swift action" was making a "real difference in tackling anti-social behaviour", with his comments supported by Home Secretary and MP Yvette Cooper.
