'Nuisance' bike seized by police over antisocial behaviour in popular Sheffield park
Police have seized an electric bike, after complaints of anti-social behaviour at one of Sheffield’s best known parks.
South Yorkshire Police seized a Surron bike this morning after having sent plain clothes officers to Hillsborough Park yesterday, after concerns had been raised over bikers causing a nuisance.
Officers from the force’s Sheffield North West neighbourhood policing team said in a statement this evening: “We have been made aware of nuisance bikes causing anti social behaviour in Hillsborough Park.
“Yesterday officers from the Walkley and Hillsborough team conducted plain clothes patrols to try and identify those involved.
“It wasn't long until a male was seen and identified on a black Surron bike.”
They said two officers attended the person’s home address and not only seized the bike but also reported them for various driving offences.
They added: “With better weather coming , we will continue to conduct patrols and deal with offenders robustly. Please to continue to report any issues to us.”
