TWO "nuisance" bikes have been removed from Bradford's streets after the riders "involuntarily dismounted" from them before running away from police.

Officers from West Yorkshire Police's Steerside Enforcement Team said they saw the bikes on Sandholme Drive in the Thorpe Edge area of the city. 

A spokesperson for the team added: "Very limited riding ability led the riders to an involuntary dismount of their own doing before running off."

They said the two "nuisance" bikes had now been taken off the roads. 

The Steerside Enforcement Team works across Bradford district, deploying officers seven days a week in cars and on bikes. 

Operation Steerside was launched in 2016 specifically to tackle dangerous and anti-social driving in Bradford and evolved two years later into a multi-agency partnership to tackle crimes on the roads.
