Eight mountain bikes and four electric scooters were seized this weekend as a dispersal zone was introduced by Merseyside Police.
The order was introduced after young people were reported to be causing damage to phone boxes, bins and windows in Liscard.
It ran for 48 hours from 5pm on Friday January 28 and gave officers the power to seize any item used in the commission of anti-social behaviour.

There were 16 dispersal notices issued across the weekend, while six stop and searches - including one in which a man was found in possession of a suspected class B drug and was given a community resolution - were also conducted.
Inspector Alan McKeon said: “We introduced this dispersal zone following reports in Liscard town centre of phone boxes, bins and windows being damaged and members of the public, shop workers and delivery drivers being targeted with abuse.
“The action this weekend has helped us disrupt those youths who were intent on causing a nuisance, and to stop reckless acts of anti-social behaviour and keep our communities safe.
“We received various comments from residents and businesses in support of the order, describing Liscard as a “completely different town” over the weekend.
“Officers are continuing to carry out enquiries into the incidents that took place over the weekend.
“Further enquiries will also be conducted in Liscard by our officers with businesses and the local community to discuss community priorities.
“If you witness any anti-social behaviour or have any information about such incidents, please contact or speak to our officers so we can continue to take action.”
People who have any information about crimes in their community are asked to pass details to Merseyside Police via their media desk on Twitter @MerPolCC or through Facebook 'Merseyside Police Contact Centre'.
People should always call 999 if a crime is in progress.
