Police seize uninsured motorbikes in fight against anti-social riders in Staveley

On Saturday, May 21, officers from Staveley and Newbold SNT located a red Suzuki motorbike which was seen driving at speed.

It was seized for having no insurance after the rider ran from police.

Officers from Killamarsh SNT and Derbyshire’s Rural Crime Team were also called to assist after it was reported that between four and five motorbikes were ripping up the grass on Hillside Drive, Mastin Moor.

Officers attended the area and detained a 37-year-old man, from the Mastin Moor area, on a yellow motorbike.

The bike was seized and the rider reported for no insurance and having no driving licence.

Staveley SNT said officers continue to look for uninsured motorbikes being used in an anti social manner as part of Operation Corvus, after continuing complaints from the community.
