Can you help identify anti-social riders in Bishop’s Stortford?

Police are appealing for witnesses and information as part of continued efforts to tackle anti-social and dangerous riding in Bishop’s Stortford.

At around 1.10pm on Friday (29 November), two males were reportedly seen riding a green Kawasaki motocross bike along a pavement in the Parsonage Lane area, narrowly missing pedestrians.

They were wearing dark clothing and had no helmets on.

The bike was then ridden off into the woods.

Police have also received reports regarding a blue Yamaha doing wheelies and speeding in the area. The rider was wearing blue clothing, a balaclava and goggles.

PCSO Lucy Townsend, from the Neighbourhood Policing Team, said: “This type of behaviour is completely unacceptable, and we’d like to trace these riders urgently before they seriously hurt someone.

“If you saw either of these incidents or captured footage of the bikes being ridden in the area, perhaps on a dash or doorbell cam, then please get in touch.

“We’d also be keen to hear from anyone who may have information about who is riding these bikes. While we’re conducting as many enquiries as we can, information from the public often proves key to helping us identify offenders.”
