Off-road bikes, Goldsithney

Police are seeking information in relation to the use of off-road bikes being driven illegally in and around the Goldsithney area, specifically between Nanturras and Bampfylde Way.

Current sightings indicate bikes are being driven in a dangerous and anti-social manner.

This is a huge concern to officers as it places both riders, pillion passengers and members of the public at significant risk. 

Please remember that it is illegal to use a motor vehicle elsewhere other than a road, unless you have been given permission by a landowner or are using a designated site. 

You could be issued with a fine, or face being reported to Court for driving offences. Your vehicle could also be seized. If you cause criminal damage to protected spaces by using your vehicle off-road, you could also be prosecuted under the Criminal Damage Act 1971. 

Please report any information in relation to these bikes via 101 or by our website quoting 

If the matter is an emergency, please use 999. 

Thank you for your support in this matter.
