Nuisance motorcycles.

Regular patrols are carried out in areas affected by nuisance motorbike activity to deter offending and identify those responsible. Where riders are identified, officers use road traffic legislation to seize vehicles where appropriate, while antisocial behaviour powers are used to address repeat offending and discourage further nuisance behaviour. Officers will continue to patrol hotspot locations and take action against those whose actions cause nuisance or put others at risk.

Antisocial behaviour - nuisance.

Officers are carrying out regular patrols and working closely with residents and businesses to prevent antisocial behaviour and encourage the reporting of incidents. Mobile CCTV has been used in identified hotspot areas to help deter offending and identify those responsible. Where young people are identified as being involved in antisocial behaviour, officers take a preventative and safeguarding-focused approach. This can include Acceptable Behaviour Agreements, which are voluntary agreements between young people, their parents or guardians, and the police to address unacceptable behaviour. Educational workbooks and referrals to diversionary activities delivered by the Child Centred Policing Team are also used to help prevent further incidents and encourage positive behaviour.
