Speeding Thefts/Burglary Anti-Social Motorbikes

We receive many complaints about this and there are strong concerns about the high number of serious injuries RTC’s and unfortunately fatal incidents on the local roads especially over the summer months, due to this we are running Operation Cruiser this summer where there will be more speed enforcement by local officers and from our Roads Policing Team (Traffic) At this time of year general thefts and burglaries tend to be higher and we would remind people make sure houses, sheds, garages and vehicles are always locked and valuables are left out of sight. Also, with it being such a rural location, it means we are heavily reliant on the public reporting any suspicious activity at the time by calling 999 if occurring then, otherwise report online or by calling 101. We are getting far too many people delaying in calling or worried that it may be something innocent. Feedback we have received is problems with off-road motorbikes on both the roads and across the countryside off-road. They are visiting sometimes in large groups speeding and driving dangerously along roads and bridleways causing upset to residents and damage to land. We as a team are looking at addressing this problem alongside all other road related issues.
