Officers based at Royston and Goldthorpe joined forces with the specialist off-road bike team to put the brakes on nuisance bikers over the weekend.
As part of a dedicated operation, officers flooded areas popular with off-road bikers, which had been raised as a concern by members of the public.
Athersley, Carlton and parts of the Trans Pennine Trail from Stairfoot to Cudworth, Lundwood and Bolton-on-Dearne had officers stationed there throughout the day on Saturday 2 September, as they stopped off-road bikers and engaged with members of the public.
Sergeant Brad Wynne, who ran the operation, said: “Our main aim throughout the day was to identify any off-road bikers and engage with them to educate them about the dangers and potential antisocial element of it.
“Where necessary, we also used police polices to seize bikes and a total of three bikes were seized. Three tickets were also issued for those who were driving without a licence and without insurance.
“We know that people living in the areas mentioned above have had concerns about off-road bikes and the potential dangers they can cause, particularly when they’re being ridden in areas where they shouldn’t and in an antisocial manner.
“I’m pleased with how the operation went and I’m confident that it sent out a strong message to those who do ride off-road bikes in an antisocial manner that it will not be tolerated and we will continue to take action.
“If you are concerned about off-road bikes in your area or would like to report an incident, please call us on 101 or speak to your local PCSO.”
