Off Road Bikes – Roscoe Road

In April, May, June we received 6, 3 and 3 calls respectively regarding off road bikes in Billingham South Ward. We seized one motorbike in June.
The volume of calls regarding the anti-social use of motorbikes in rural and urban areas has increased dramatically throughout the UK since lockdown ended. Unfortunately, research shows that the volume of calls is continuing to increase. Whilst not every force suffers with the same level of problems, forces which are considered to have similar demographics to our own have seen considerable rises in calls for service relating to bikes. Operation Endurance is Cleveland Police's ongoing enforcement, prevention and partnership campaign to reduce the harm caused by off-road bikes and e-bikes, improve community safety, and disrupt those using bikes for anti-social behaviour or criminal activity. The dedicated Cleveland Police bike task force have seized 75 bikes county wide since being created in June 2026.
