Current priorities
Off Road Bikes
Through Operation Harley, we proactively target those who put motorists and pedestrians at risk through the illegal or dangerous use of off-road vehicles. We’re carrying out regular operations to identify those responsible, and will continue to seize vehicles where appropriate.
