A MOTORBIKE was seized by police in Bradford after its rider was found to be uninsured.

Officers spotted the black bike (pictured) without a rear L plate on Raven Terrace, Lower Grange.

But before they could carry out a spot check, the rider moved on to Kingfisher Grove, riding down narrow, concealed footpaths next to houses, and was found in Crediton Avenue.

The rider stopped and admitted having no insurance and taking the bike for a test ride.

He also admitted that using the bike on narrow pathways posed a danger to pedestrians.

He was reported for the driving offences and will be receiving a summons to court.

The bike was seized and is unlikely to be recovered. He was also issued with a section 59 warning for anti-social use of the bike for 12 months.

Residents can report motorbikes being ridden in an anti-social manner to police by calling 101.
