A BIKE was seized after police witnessed its rider pulling wheelies in Fagley.

The rider was seen carrying out anti-social riding on Folkton Holme on Monday evening.

The officer was unable to stop it but recorded details of the bike.

The following evening, another officer was on patrol in Wrose when he spotted the motorbike in question at the top of Gaisby Lane and the rider stopped to speak with him.

The bike was seized due to the rider already having a current section 59 warning for anti-social use on the roads. If he is seen or reported riding in an anti-social manner again he could face a court appearance and disqualification.

PC Dave Hudson said: “A warning usually suffices for most riders and drivers but there are a minority that feel as though they can do as they please regardless of the rules of the road.”
