One member of the public called police to report teenagers taking it in turns to race on two mini motos without helmets and almost colliding with a car.
Two days later a group of six boys were seen riding a mini moto and motorbike dangerously on pavements and along narrow alleyways.
Yesterday officers confiscated a scooter after a group of youngsters were reported driving dangerously in the car park of Morrison’s in Abbeydale and a number of near misses with customers.
PCSO Sylvia Lane said: “Put simply this constitutes dangerous driving – and once these overgrown boys are identified we will be sending traffic officers around to speak to them about their actions.
“As well as looking ridiculous they’re putting themselves and others in danger and causing real distress to local residents.
"We can and do confiscate vehicles that are unlicensed or if the driver is not insured. If the vehicle is being driven in anti-social manner then we can issue Section 59 warnings, which mean that if the riders are discovered committing a similar sort of offence in future, they can be arrested and their bikes confiscated.
"This has led to many bikes being seized in the past and crushed so we would urge riders to remember this and change their behaviour."
Residents are urged to call the new non-emergency number 101 if they recognise these men or want to report incidents.

“BB_Wolf you wouldn't be saying that if you had to live by it, they used to do it on Beaufort Field by where i live and when all you can hear above the television is these things echoing around the field and its still going on after 10.30 at night it starts to get right on your top note, they were lucky it never woke my son up as i think my husband would of gone out and clothes lined the little f*****s off, we have complained on numerous occasions to the police and touch wood we have had no problem here lately, seems they have now moved up the road and the residents up that end have my sympathy!!!”

“This picture reminds me of a pillock who used to ride up and down the country lane outside my house. It didn't last long because for some unknown reason he got drenched by my hose as he rode past me when I was watering the garden. You see I had to step aside to let him past and unfortunately I turned sideways and completely forgot I still had the hose in my hand.
Whoops :)))”

“It depends on the weight of the rider. The chap in the photo would be lucky to top 10mph.
Why does no-one complain about mountain bikers in the same area?”
