Section 59 warnings given following anti-social behaviour complaints about motorcyclists

Following a number of complaints about the use of motorcycles in the Combs Ford area, particularly complaints about excessive noise, four Section 59 warnings have been issued.

They give police powers where vehicles have been used in a manner to cause alarm, distress or annoyance.

Officers can order the person to stop driving or riding the vehicle. Those having previously been warned may be fined or have their vehicles seized if they persist in this behaviour.

A Traffic Offence Report (TOR) was also issued to one person for riding a motorcycle with no insurance.

Officers will continue to carry out patrols in the area and will look to take appropriate action where anti-social behaviour is found to have taken place.
