Inspector Roger Millward, from Stockton’s neighbourhood policing team, said: “We know the use of off-road bikes is concerning to the community and I want to take this opportunity to assure residents that it is one of our main priorities.
“The operation that took place at the weekend will continue over the months ahead to target these bikes being used in a criminal way and seizing them.
“Part of our investigation is to identify the owners and take appropriate action and I would encourage anyone with information to get in touch.”
