Caution Needed When Giving Mini-Motos Or Go-Peds This Christmas
There are strict limitations on who can ride these machines, and on where they can be ridden. Some of the consequences people may face include: - Fixed Penalties - Seizure of bikes by police - The chance of being sued for injuries and/or criminal damage.
Also, parents are responsible for fines and costs if a vehicle is seized from their child. The worst scenario is that a child or someone they collide with could be killed or seriously injured.
Mini motos and similar vehicles can only be ridden legally on private land, with the owner's consent. Anyone breaking the law faces prosecution for having no road tax and insurance and, depending on their conduct, careless or dangerous driving.
If the rider is too young to drive, any penalty points handed out by the court will be kept on file and activated as soon as they are old enough to apply for a licence.
Youngsters who ride miniature vehicles on roads, pavements and car parks, putting pedestrians at risk, are breaking the law and are liable to have their treasured possession seized by police.
Police can also seize these motorbikes under section 59 of the Police Reform Act. Owners would then need to pay a fine to recover their vehicle and may be subject to motoring offences. Anyone using one of these motorbikes on a public road must have a driving license, insurance, tax, MOT and index plates and also wear a helmet.
If you have a problem in your area or are a parent and are unsure of the law in regards to the use of mini-motorbikes, please contact your local Safer Neighbourhood Team for advice.
The Operation Crunch Intelligence Hotline phone number is 01926 415247. This phone number is staffed 24 hours a day, seven days a week, for members of the public to provide information about car criminals and burglars operating within their community.

Be a good neighbour
During the Christmas season lots of people have visitors but be alert and look out for your neighbour's property if they are away for a few days.
If you live in a large town, it's harder to get to know your neighbours, but it's more important than ever that you should do so. One great way to meet those living on your street is to start or join a Neighbourhood Watch Scheme. There are more than 4,300 Neighbourhood Watch co-ordinators in Warwickshire who help to keep the local groups informed of criminal activity in the community, pass on crime prevention advice and help to resolve local issues.
Local members are encouraged to keep an eye on what's going and pass on details of suspicious activity.

Garden security
Your garden, as well as your house, has valued possessions that thieves would love to steal. It also has equipment that could help them break into your house.
Most burglars are lazy. They look for easy ways of getting into a house or garden. By taking a few simple precautions you can reduce the risk of being burgled and make your house and garden more secure.
Natural protection One of the best ways to keep thieves out is to use nature's own defence mechanisms to stop intruders. A barrier of prickly hedge may be all the protection you need around your property
Stop garden thieves: If you see or hear anything suspicious, dial 999
What you can do
Put away all tools and equipment and ensure that all outside sheds and store cupboards are securely locked when not in use.
Bring the tools inside if you do not have a garden shed or outbuilding.
Use plant protection - such as thorny shrubs.
Install outside security lighting which comes on automatically.
