Police said they had taken action against the rider of this bike

Members of South Yorkshire Police's dedicated off-road team were out in Westfield yesterday, responding to what they said were 'numerous complaints' about anti-social off-road bikers.

They said one rider's bike was seized and another biker was issued with a warning under the Police Reform Act.

"Westfield residents we know that you have a big problem with off road bikes. Please bear with us and keep reporting. Your help is always appreciate," it said.
