An officer from the North Flintshire Neighbourhood Policing team arrived at the location and successfully seized the offending vehicle.

A spokesperson for the team posted on Facebook: “We received multiple calls today regarding an off-road bike being ridden near Griffiths Court in Shotton.”

“I’ve just come free from some enquiries and been able to attend. One more nuisance bike off to recovery to be crushed.”

“Well done NWP, you’ve done a great job,” said one resident. Another remarked, “A job well done! Thank you.”
