Police issue warning over off-road bikes after seizure in Wolverhampton
Police have issued guidance on the use of off-road bikes after one was seized in Wolverhampton.
The Rockstar scrambler bike was seized in Wentworth Road, Bushbury, on Saturday.
The police guidance states: "Riding off-road motorbikes can be a popular pastime.
"However, these vehicles can also be used in dangerous, noisy and anti-social ways, generating lots of complaints to the police.
"It is illegal to ride any motorbike in public open spaces such as parks, play areas and on pavements.
"You can only ride an off-road motorbike legally if it is on private land and you have the land owner's permission. Land owned by the local council is not classed as private land."
People concerned about illegal road bike use in their area are encouraged to call West Midlands Police on 101.
