Issued: 10 Dec 2025

Although this has been greatly reduced due to proactive policing patrols involving uniform and plain clothes officers it is still a priority as it has the potential to return to previous levels if not managed and acted upon. A number of persons seen riding illegal suron bikes have been reported for driving offences and in some instances the bikes have been seized.
