Dear Resident

No number plates · wearing balaclavas · running red lights · treating housing estates like racetracks · cutting up grass verges, parks, football pitches, farmers’ fields, historical sites, bridleways, nature reserves and footpaths · The list goes on…

This is not just nuisance behaviour, but anti-social crime. Riders can cause criminal damage and may also be involved in drug dealing, stealing vehicles, burglary, robbery and other organised gang criminality. They may also be riding without a valid license and/or insurance, committing livestock or wildlife crime or poaching.

We have a dedicated team in the Wakefield district who will act on the information provided to us. 

Please report it and let us know when and where it’s happening, with descriptions of offenders and bikes / vehicles. Names of offenders if known. Photos and videos would be great but only if taken when safe to do so. All information will be treated confidentially.

You can report incidents to West Yorkshire Police, in a number of ways: 
Always call 999 in an emergency. Call 101 if it is not urgent.

You can report online using our portal:
