A teenage biker learnt a costly lesson for driving dangerously.

The 18-year-old's motorbike was seized by police when he was caught driving it in an anti-social manner, without a helmet or insurance.

As a consequence of his actions, the vehicle will now be crushed.

Officers stopped the teen on private land near to Amsbury Woods, in Coxheath, on Sunday.

Sgt Nigel Douglas, who enforced the Section 59 of the Road Traffic Act, said: "I would warn those who are caught riding bikes illegally and anti-socially that they too could have their bike seized.

"These motorcyclists are also putting themselves and others in danger. In this case the rider was using the bike without a helmet, risking serious injury.

"As the summer months edge closer, we will continue to tackle anti social behaviour to improve the quality of life for local residents.”
