Anti-social off-road bike riding could see you evicted, warn Telford police
Police have reminded the owners of off-road bikes that property landlords can evict them if they are caught riding anti-socially.
The warning comes after a landlord in Telford was informed of his tenant's conduct after their off-road bike was seized.
West Mercia Police said as part of Operation Spree, officers will be informing landlords of incidents where tenants, their family and visitors have caused anti-social behaviour.
A spokesperson said: "Riding an off-road bike causes alarm, distress or annoyance and could constitute a breach of tenancy. All landlords can take action against tenants causing anti-social behaviour.
"If after relevant intervention the behaviour doesn’t cease, landlords have the power to evict tenants behaving anti-socially."
Officers have asked if people know anyone riding off-road bikes or where they ride and store the bikes they should email opspree@westmercia.police.uk
