Anti-Social Scrambler Bikes
Northumbria Police are asking the public to help them take action to catch anti-social off-road scrambler bike riders, who are causing mayhem across the county and in particular in our area.
Riders are acting without any regard for the safety of the public and are causing upset to those enjoying our wonderful countryside.
To make a report, please contact 101 when the incident is happening. You can do this online, or via telephone.
When you make a report, it is especially helpful if you can describe the incident, give an accurate location, perhaps using 'What 3 Words' (see below), give a description of the bike, the rider and the registration, and in which direction they are travelling.
What 3 Words - this is an app that helps to pinpint an exact location. what3words /// The simplest way to talk about location
Section 59 of the Police Reform Act gives Northumbria Police the power to seize vehicles. Anti-social use of motorised vehicles will lead to further action being taken and vehicles will be seized without further warning.
