Photos released by Telford Cops

West Mercia Police have shared photographs of two motorbike riders they'd like to speak to.

One photograph shows what appears to be a helmet-less young man wearing a Nike Air hoodie, dark trousers and white trainers riding a motorcycle.

The other appears to show a second man riding a blue motorbike, wearing a mask, light-coloured trousers and a T-shirt.

Police say officers with the south Telford Safer Neighbourhood Team would like to speak with them "in relation to traffic offences".

Anyone with information is asked to email opspree@westmercia.police.uk

The appeal is part of the wider operation, named Op Spree, which targets the use of off-road bikes.

In south Telford last year, the police recorded 165 anti-social incidents – with 129 of them about dirt or quad bikes and scramblers.

The incidents included people riding illegally on footpaths and roads, not wearing helmets and riding at dangerous speeds.
