Frustrated neighbours have spoken out after reports of motorbikes 'doing wheelies' and being ridden at speed in a residential area. The community on Brooklands Drive, in Gedling, said they 'had enough' of the nuisance caused by a reported group of people riding motorbikes on a footpath over the Ouse Dyke river.
A number of residents said they have reported the matter to the police - who already stepped up patrols in the area as a result. Nottinghamshire Police said that a specialist police off-road bike team has been out and about to crackdown on nuisance bikers and antisocial behaviour in the Gedling South area.
The police operation took place on Friday, March 3, following complaints from members of the public concerning off-road bike activity. Although no bikes were seized on this occasion and no arrests were made, the force said that further operations will be carried out in the area.
