Local Priorities Nuisance motorbikes / Scooters Message

I wanted to provide you with an update regarding Nuisance motorbikes / Scooters, which people around your area have highlighted as an issue of concern on the priority survey.

Over the weekend, a day of action took place targeting hot spot areas.
Together with Cardiff Council’s off-road bike team, officers deployed in areas across the East of Cardiff which seen 7 bikes seized.

Areas targeted included Llanishen, Llanedeyrn, Pentwyn, Pontprennau, St Mellons & Rumney.
These types of operations are not a one off, and we will continue to carry out this type of work to tackle these issues.

Tackling antisocial behaviour can be a complex issue, and one which requires input and action from more than just the police.

February 2025 saw the publication of the Ministry of Justice Crime and Policing Bill: Antisocial behaviour (ASB) factsheet. This outlined a number of new measures including making powers to seize vehicles under section 59 of the Police Reform Act 2002 easier to use, allowing the police to react robustly and immediately to the anti-social use of motor vehicles. 

If you witness a motor vehicle or mechanically propelled vehicle being driven/ridden in an anti-social manner in a public place or on a public road, or have information regarding an incident, please report it using our online reporting tools at www.southwalespolice.police.uk, speak to an operator in our Force Communications Room via our online web chat or call the non-emergency number 101.
