A spokesperson for Cleveland Police said: “Three of the bikes were seized for riders not having the correct driving licenses and one for riding off road and having no MOT or number plate – as well as already being subject to a Section 59 warning.”

These four bikes will no longer be causing a problem on local streets thanks to Operation Endurance.

Since 2017, Operation Endurance has used a multi-agency approach to gather information and intelligence, seize vehicles and identify offenders.

The public can report crimes by calling 101 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111.
