Local Priorities ASB- Nuisance Motorcycles Update

Dear Resident,

Thank you for taking the local priority survey recently,  we note that you highlighted ASB- Nuisance motorcycles in the survey so we wanted to provide you with an update on this local matter.

Op Fragment Officers have been out in the community in Daventry responding to complaints regarding motorcycle nuisance.

On Saturday 17th May 2025 the attached two motorcycles were seized with persons reported for various traffic offences.

We would encourage the reporting of these incidents, should you wish to discuss directly with an Op Fragment officer please e-mail - OpFragment@northants.pnn.police.uk

Do you know who is using these motorbikes? is there a specific time/location that the bikes are used?

Tackling antisocial behaviour can be a complex issue, and one which requires input and action from more than just the police.

February 2025 saw the publication of the Ministry of Justice Crime and Policing Bill: Antisocial behaviour (ASB) factsheet. This outlined a number of new measures including making powers to seize vehicles under section 59 of the Police Reform Act 2002 easier to use, allowing the police to react robustly and immediately to the anti-social use of motor vehicles.
