POLICE in Inverclyde say they have seized further off-road bikes being used illegally in the district as they continue to crack down on dangerous and anti-social behaviour.

In partnership with the local authority, the force said that it is continuing in 'the quest to solve the issue', which has been highlighted in the Telegraph in recent weeks.

We reported the fears of a worried constituent who claims that reckless youths racing around Greenock Cemetery in off-road motorbikes could end up killing someone.

Police also issued a warning last month stating that they take such actions very seriously and that offenders will be prosecuted and bikes seized.

"Identification of these riders is key.

"Tell us where they are being stored and we will do the rest."
