Police warning over 'dangerous and reckless' bike use in Telford
Police have issued a warning to off-road bike riders acting recklessly in areas of Telford.
The Brookside Safer Neighbourhood Team put out a message on social media after receiving a host of complaints from residents.
An appeal, shared by Telford & Wrekin Cops on Facebook, said: "We have received complaints about off road bikes being ridden in Brookside and Woodside.
"Some people regard this kind of vehicle as harmless fun. However, anti-social vehicle use can have a wider impact on the community.
"The effect of dangerous and reckless use of a vehicle can lead to damage to grassland, vehicles or property. Riders also risk injuring themselves, other road users and pedestrians.
