The illegal use of motorbikes, eScooters, and other vehicles is an issue causing concern in Immingham and surrounding areas.

Officers are conducting high visibility patrols in the relevant areas to both deter and detect those people riding motorbikes, quads, and eScooters. Following several complaints from residents, a quad bike was seized by local officers on 10th June. The owner was issued with a Section 59 notice.

Days of action involving local officers and other police units will be taking place over the next month targeting these issues to resolve this antisocial behaviour.

Actions ahead continue to be:
Issuing of Section 59 and E-scooter warning notices to those riding anti-socially.
Issuing of anti-social warning letters as part of operation yellowfin to addresses where there is intelligence to suggest storage/use of off-road bikes, e-scooters, e-bikes, mopeds and motorbikes.

July saw an increase in residents reporting issues with motorbikes. As such, planned days of action are planned in August to target this behaviour.

Op Agility is the name given to the local operation targeting criminality, drug offences and ASB in the Immingham area.

There is work ongoing with the intention of securing a PSPO in Immingham and helping to make Immingham feel a safer place for the local community and those visiting. The intention will be to work alongside partner agencies in achieving this. This priority also ties in with our priority of the illegal use of motorbikes and will make use of the resources of 'Op Yellowfin' in targeting ASB.

Other objectives of Op Agility are:
To work continuously across the force area to prevent ASB and associated criminality.
Working with the community is key – we will always act on reports received.
We are committed in providing accessible local officers in our communities to be able to work together and take action against any type of criminality.
We are listening to residents the supply of drugs and associated ASB. This is not tolerated or accepted.
To always maintain a child first principle in relation to supporting our most vulnerable young people
