NUISANCE MOTORBIKES - WILNECOTE

We continue to receive complaints about vehicles using foot & cycle-paths and riding on grassed areas. Offenders are using motorbikes, scooters, quad bikes in and around various estates causing members of the public harassment alarm and distress.

The most recent report from this afternoon - around 3pm - relates to motorbikes (including off-road motorbikes and Sur-rons) and a quad bike riding along Watling Street, Wilnecote in a dangerous manner, pulling wheelies and riding on the wrong side of the road etc. They were last seen going down Glascote Lane. The riders are described as being teenagers.

If anyone was driving along the road around that time that may have any dash-cam footage then please contact us on 101 or via the online form or Live Chat at www.staffordshire.police.uk quoting incident 524 of 05/03/2026.

Obviously catching these vehicles on the move is no easy task therefore we require information in regards to who is responsible, where they come from and where they are going etc.

If anybody knows what addresses these vehicles are coming from or going to you can pass this information to us using the options above.

We require this information to have a significant impact of this type of anti-social behaviour. Our intention is to take positive action against all offending parties which will include parents who are allowing these behaviours.

Our response:

* That offenders are dealt with appropriately and robustly – to reduce reoffending

* Seize illegal motorbikes at every opportunity we have

* To significantly reduce the motorbike-related antisocial behaviour in Tamworth
