Local Priorities Nuisance ASB eg off road bikes Message

I wanted to provide you with an update regarding Nuisance ASB eg off road bikes, which people around your area have highlighted as an issue of concern on the priority survey.

Today a vehicle which has been abandoned on Jersey Road Leicester with damage caused to the windscreen and interior was recovered due to being targetted by local youths. This Anti Social Behaviour could have led to further issues to the vehicle and potentially caused harm to the community. If any resident have any concerns in regards to abandoned vehicles please contact the council who can have it removed. If any vehicle is seen to being damaged or persons are seen inside the vehicle please call the police who can deal with any criminal offences.

Tackling antisocial behaviour can be a complex issue, and one which requires input and action from more than just the police.

February 2025 saw the publication of the Ministry of Justice Crime and Policing Bill: Antisocial behaviour (ASB) factsheet. This outlined a number of new measures including making powers to seize vehicles under section 59 of the Police Reform Act 2002 easier to use, allowing the police to react robustly and immediately to the anti-social use of motor vehicles.

If you ever experience this issue or have information regarding an incident, please report it using our online reporting tools at https://www.leics.police.uk, speak to an operator in our Force Communications Room via our online web chat or call the non-emergency number 101. 

Alternatively, you can stay 100 per cent anonymous by contacting the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 or via their untraceable online form at crimestoppers-uk.org.
