OP GRIEB- Tackling Illegal Use of Off-Road Bikes

I wanted to provide you with an update regarding Nuisance motorbikes / Scooters, which people around your area have highlighted as an issue of concern on the priority survey.

South Wales Police is raising awareness of the illegal use of off-road bikes and the impact this can have on our local communities.

Through OP GRIEB, we are working to address the antisocial and dangerous use of off-road bikes, including riding in prohibited areas and behaviour that can put members of the public at risk.

We are encouraging residents to report any concerns or information they may have regarding the illegal use of off-road bikes in their area.

Your information can help us identify problem areas and take appropriate action.

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 witness a motor vehicle or mechanically propelled vehicle being driven/ridden in an anti-social manner in a public place or on a public road, or have information regarding an incident, please report it using our online reporting tools at www.southwalespolice.police.uk, speak to an operator in our Force Communications Room via our online web chat or call the non-emergency number 101.
