Police have seized an off-road bike after it was spotted being ridden dangerously in a residential area of Willenhall.
Neighbourhood officers confiscated the bike after witnessing it being driven recklessly in the Coppice Farm area of New Invention on Saturday (August 1).
Officers said tackling anti-social behaviour associated with illegal off-road bikes remains a priority, acknowledging the impact it has on local communities.
The force said the illegal use of off-road bikes, electric bikes, quad bikes and e-scooters remains a problem across Walsall borough.
