Officers were called following reports of “nuisance motorbikes” being ridden around a park – leading to one being seized.

Police were called yesterday (Sunday) afternoon to the Stanhope area of Ashfordafter being alerted to the anti-social behaviour.

One bike was stopped, and then seized after being found to have no insurance.

A S59 warning was also issued, which are given out to anyone “driving in a careless or inconsiderate manner”.

Ashford beat team's PC James Murrell said police understand how residents can be impacted by “nuisance” vehicles.

“We understand the impact nuisance vehicles like this one have on local residents and neighbourhood officers will take action whenever possible,” he said.

“Tackling anti-social behaviour and encouraging road safety are two key aims of our Safer Summer campaign and we'll continue to seek out nuisance drivers and riders to protect the public.”
