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 two red quad bikes seen tearing up grass and riding on pavements etc in Lothersdale. Elsewhere, an off-road motorbike has been seen riding around the cycle-paths, Stonydelph lakes as well Pennymoor Road. The bike had two people on it wearing bright pink face coverings. It is suspected this bike is coming/going from an address on the Pennymoor estate.

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 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
