KENT NEWS: Four off-road motorcycles have been seized by police during a crackdown on nuisance vehicles.

The operation involved officers from Kent Police’s central motorcycle unit and targeted a number of areas in the west of the county.

One motorcycle was seized because the rider had a previous warning for anti-social riding, another was believed to be stolen and the other two were not insured.

Officers issued 10 section 59 warnings under powers of the Police Reform Act designed to address anti-social use of vehicles.

Holly Hill and Horseholders Wood in the Halling area; Andrews Wood and Pilot Woods, Shoreham; Pilgrims Way and St Clere Estate at Exedown, Kemsing and the North Downs Way at Wrotham.

Holly Hill and Horseholders Wood in the Halling area, Andrews Wood and Pilot Woods in Shoreham, Pilgrims Way and St Clere Estate at Exedown, Kemsing and the North Downs Way at Wrotham were among the areas targeted.

Tonbridge and Malling neighbourhood policing Ins Adrian Allen said: “Residents have raised the issues of nuisance motorcycles and riders who take their bikes off-road illegally as priorities.

“This operation was a continuation of our efforts to tackle the problem.”
