Dear Resident

Recent policing operations by officers in Gateshead Borough have had very encouraging results, with bikes seized and significant arrests made.

A total of £196,000 secured from the Home Office has funded a new, dedicated support unit utilising police drones to target those responsible for causing motorbike-related crime and anti-social behaviour in your neighbourhoods. 

If you have any information regarding who is using off road motorcycles or quad bikes illegally please reply back to us via this message on Northumbria Connected with details of:

Who is using the motorcycles illegally in your area?

Description of the motorcycles / quadbikes involved and any registration marks if they have one. 

Where are they being stored? 

Where are they riding the bikes illegally?

When is the best time to target these bikes?

Likewise, If you have any information regarding those supplying illegal drugs in your area you can contact us anonymously via this Northumbria Connected message. 

Thank you for your ongoing support and assistance with this matter.
