Campaign to rid the streets of irresponsible and illegal bike use continues in Ilkeston

An ongoing campaign by Derbyshire Police to rid the streets of irresponsible and illegal motorbike use continued recently when officers from the Ilkeston Safer Neighbourhood Team seized an off-road trials bike.

This latest incident occurred following numerous reports, over a period of several weeks about the same motorbike being ridden around the town in an anti-social manner.

As a result, police officers located the bike on 17th April because it had been used to commit road traffic offences.

Posting a photo on social media of the bike tied to the back of a flat-bed recovery lorry, a representative for Derbyshire Police used a number of hashtags including #seized, #asb (anti-social behaviour) #s165 (a section 165 offence) and perhaps most forcefully: #nothavingitback
