Officers from Operation Matrix - West Yorkshire Police’s specialist off-road motorbike team - seized the bike from its owner after it was seen being ridden in the area.

The seizure was part of a clampdown by police after a large amount of complaints about vehicles being driven irresponsibly across the district.

Insp Geoff Carter, of South East neighbourhood police team, asked anyone with any information about off-road motorbikes to contact police on 101.
