The public have been urged not to put themselves in danger during motorbike disorder on public footpaths and in parks.
Cramlington and Blyth neighbourhood inspector Jonathan Caisley issued the warning at the Cramlington, Bedlington and Seaton Valley Local Area Council on Tuesday as he explained how Northumbria Police are looking to tackle the issue.
It followed questions from Cramlington ward councillors after a rise in reports of the anti-social behaviour.
