Anti-Social Behaviour and Criminal Damage

Agreed on 20 June 2024. Updated on 20 June 2024

We have been receiving frequent reports concerning persons riding motorcycles in anti social manner and in many cases illegally. Whether this be through riding on pavements and bridleways or in some instances riding an illegal or stolen motorcycle. The team are actively gathering intel concerning this criminality and ask that any sightings of motorcycles being driven in an anti social or illegal way be called in, to help us pinpoint locations, dates and times in order to identify those responsible and take action against them.

We are actively patrolling the local areas with the focus of gathering intel which is contributing greatly and would appreciate any reports of this activity from the public – even if made online to us – we rely on information such as date, time and place with as much detail and description of the offenders as possible.

1 December 2021

We are still getting calls in and around the Sea Mills area regarding youths causing ASB.

your local neighbourhood team have been able to identify a few of these youths and are working together with our ASB team to prevent further offences occurring.

We would encourage anyone who has been effected by ASB to call the police on 999 if the incident is in progress or 101 to report an incident which has happened in the past. Reporting such incidents allows us to build a pattern of behaviour and in response we are able to target our patrols around ASB hotspots.
