Police take action on anti-social motorbikes across countryside in South Yorkshire

More than 4,500 reports of anti-social motorcycling across farms, bridleways, paths and green spaces have been made to South Yorkshire Police so far this year.

The force has a dedicated off-Road Bike Intervention Team (ORBIT) which is making sure motorbikes are used in a way that does not cause problems for horse-riders, pedestrians and cyclists and has already clocked up more than 3,000 hours patrolling outdoor areas from rural farms to streets.

During their patrols, operations and responding, the team has seized more than 37 vehicles believed to be stolen, worth an estimated £203,000, and returned them where possible to their owners.
