A message from South Yorkshire Police's Off Road Bike Intervention Team (ORBIT). ORBIT need your help to crack down on off-road vehicles causing problems in your local area.
Motorbikes, Quads & Off Road Vehicles causing a problem?
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…
The above 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, perhaps with weapons. They may also be riding without a valid license and/or insurance, committing livestock or wildlife crime or poaching.
Please report it and let us know when, where and descriptions. Photos & videos would be great if safe to do so.
