Officers from the Long Eaton Safer Neighbourhood Policing Team have been continuing to target nuisance vehicles whilst out on patrol in the area.

A recent operation was carried out in Sandiacre and saw a particular focus on illegal off-road bikes and illegal e-bikes which are causing nuisance to the local community.

A statement said: "These type of bikes are often involved in other Anti-Social Behaviour and crime as well as causing a serious safety issue to both the riders themselves and members of the public. 

"One illegally modified e-bike was stopped one afternoon and during an evening patrol, officers spotted a car driving erratically. The driver turned out to have no licence or valid insurance.  Both vehicles have been seized."
