Dear Resident,

Over the weekend, Wakefield District Off-Road Bike Team were out patrolling the nuisance bike hot-spot areas around Lupset, Flanshaw & Stanley working alongside colleagues from the Catch & Convict Team. 

This quad & bike were seized from fields in Stanley; they were being ridden illegally and in an anti-social manner.

The distinctive turquoise coloured bike was seized in the Lupset area, the rider will be prosecuted for a variety of document offences.

Another one from the Lupset area was this moped seen carrying 3 people, it was seized as suspected stolen. Enquiries are ongoing.

The team had received several reports about the two electric motorbikes pictured below. Officers visited two addresses as part of their enquiries, resulting in both bikes being seized.
