Police have seized an off-road motorbike, whose rider had been causing a nuisance on the Holme Wood estate for several days.
PCSO Debra Newby identified the rider – even though he had taken steps to cover his head and taunted officers to chase him.
Police said: “We don’t have to catch these people ‘in the act’ and we won’t jeopardise the safety of other road users by chasing them. They want us to do this, and the rider of this bike in particular thought he could remain anonymous and ‘taunted’ us to chase him on several occasions.”
