West Yorkshire Police has announced a new operation to tackle criminals stealing motorbikes and using them to commit crime. Police say it is causing big concerns amongst the East Leeds communities.
West Yorkshire Police in partnership with local councillors are launching Operation Diesel Crest in a bid to monitor crimes, offer bike protection advice and stopping legal motorcyclists. Officers from the East Leeds Neighbourhood Team will be working closely with agencies to gather intelligence.
Areas such as Crossgates have faced issues with bike crime in the past. With some residents now claiming there is 'drag racing' and general anti-social behaviour happening in their neighbourhoods.
