Wishaw community policing team carried out an initiative over the weekend targeting the antisocial use of off road vehicles in Coltness, Cambusnethan and Newmains.
Using a combination of proactive policing, intelligence and SelectaDNA Spray (a compact offender marking spray used to deter and prevent personal attack and criminal behaviour) three men have been reported to the Procurator Fiscal for various road traffic offences and a quad bike and three off road motorcycles were seized.
PC Paul Steel, the local community police officer said: “We are responding to a number of complaints made by residents regarding ongoing issues with quad bikes and off road motorcycles being driven on public footpaths and park areas.
