Officers in Warrington have crushed a number of illegal bikes following reports of anti-social riding in the town.
Operation HardHit was launched earlier this year in response to multiple reports from members of the local community of off-road bikers causing anti-social behaviour, riding without helmets in pedestrian areas and actively evading law enforcement on electric motorbikes.
The initiative was designed to curb future irresponsible riding in the area.
Officers from the Northern Problem-Solving and Neighbourhood Policing teams have been working proactively to dismantle the groups of individuals intent on causing anti-social behaviour in the town, endangering themselves and pedestrians.
On Wednesday 18 September, officers from Warrington Local Policing Unit crushed 21 illegal e-bikes, off-road bikes and quadbikes that had previously been ridden anti-socially or in pedestrianised areas of the town.
