BUSY WEEKEND FOR OFF-ROAD POLICE ON Sunday, South Yorkshire Police’s Off-Road Team covered north Sheffield. A busy day with 77 incidents recorded about bikes and quads being used illegally. A spokesperson for the team said: “The first bike seized today came from Hazelshaw Spring Wood off Penistone Road. A group starburst but one of the riders binned it. “The rider a pro in the sport of enduro had no licence, no insurance and no number plate. The KTM was seized and the rider reported on summons for driving offences. He will probably not get his bike back. “The team then intercepted a group at the Jet petrol station just off Westwood New Road. The group to be fair were good lads. However, several had no plates and were dealt with for this. “One of the riders on his brand new KTM had no licence no insurance and was reported on summons for driving offences. The bike was seized. “The eye in the sky then directed us to Westwood. A group had been picked up entering the wooded area off of Westwood New Road.
“The group was monitored but starburst on seeing officers. One rider was stopped in Westwood. The rider again was a pro in the sport of enduro. His Sherco was seized for no insurance and he was reported for driving offences. “One of the group narrowly escaped onto Westwood New Road past officers but was then tracked with the help of the eye in the sky. The incident lasted about 45 minutes around local estates and Westwood Country Park. “The rider was eventually followed back to an address. He was monitored hiding the bike. Officers then went into an address and arrested the rider for dangerous driving. The Sherco was seized for no insurance. “With it not being road registered he may struggle to get it back. The rider was dealt with for dangerous driving, no insurance and no licence. “The ACU and affiliates are being made aware. This behaviour is bringing the sport into disrepute. Pros in the sport need to be ambassadors not the bad guys.”
