Update on previous PACT priorities - Nuisance motorbikes
Due to a decrease in nuisance vehicle reports the local residents deemed it was no longer a police priority. However, due to the nature of the problem and the size of the area concerned it is an issue that is still looked at by the lcoal SNT.
Recently, there has been a small increase in reports of off road vehicle nuisance in the area of Piles Coppice and Brandon Woods. As a result, Rugby Rural Central SNT have been patrolling the area at key times and issuing Section 59 warnings accordingly.
The police off road motorbike team are also paying attention to this problem.
If you see off road vehicle using private land without permission, please contact Rugby Police on 01788 541111 with the registration of the vehicle where possible and any description of rider or vehicle which may assist us in locating and identifying any indiviual.
Those riding off road vehicle illegally are reminded that they require express written permission to ride on private land.
No insurance = No vehicle.
