Increased police patrols are being undertaken following several reports of anti-social and dangerous riding of motorbikes in Pembrokeshire.

Among the reports Dyfed-Powys Police received was of a motorbike being ridden dangerously through the memorial park in Pembroke Dock, whilst similar reports have also been received in the Monkton area.

Riders risk injuring themselves, other road users and pedestrians as they do not have full control of their vehicle and their full attention on their surroundings.

A spokesperson for Pembrokeshire Roads Policing Unit commented: “We are aware of the issue and the concern this understandably causes to residents.

“The effect of dangerous or reckless use of a vehicle can also lead to damage to public land, other vehicles and surrounding property.

“Increased patrols are being undertaken by ourselves and local neighbourhood policing officers.

“We would ask that residents contact police immediately if they see it happening so that prompt action can be taken against the perpetrators.”

Reports of anti-social road use can be made to police by calling 101, or 999 in an emergency.
