The small dirt bikes, named as they are normally used for pit racing and to navigate the pits during motocross events, were seized in Hollingwood on Monday evening (May 10).

Posting on Facebook, officers from the Staveley Neighbourhood Team said: “If you want to avoid having your off road bike seized, you need to find an appropriate place to ride... The Public Highway is not an appropriate place.”
