Off Road Bikes/Sur-Rons [#679583416]

I’ve heard many complaints from residents about near misses from illegal bikes riding on pavements, causing accidents in some cases. I understand the Police want to tackle these issues, see below, and your help would be most welcome. You now have an opportunity to report incidents in your area. The information needed is set out in the information.
 
Take care and watch out for those SCAMMERS.

Dear Resident,
We are seeking your support to tackle the increasing illegal and antisocial use of off- road, electric and Sur-ron style bikes in our area.
These bikes are often ridden on pavements, parks, and roads without insurance or license’s, posing a danger to the public and causing a nuisance through noise and reckless behaviour.
We understand the impact on the community and how frustrating this can be. We are actively working to identify offenders and take enforcement action. Your information is vital in helping us respond effectively.

Please report incidents by providing:

•  location, date and time
•  rider description and clothing
•  bike details (colour, markings, registration if visible)
•  photos or video (if safe to obtain)
•  direction of travel

Do not approach riders or put yourself at risk.

Reports can be made via:
•  101 (non emergency)
•  South Wales Police online reporting
•  999 (if there is immediate danger)
Officers are carrying out extra patrols and targeted operations in the area, with positive results. Working together helps us identify offenders, seize illegal vehicles and keep our community safe.

Thank you for your continued support.
