POLICE are launching a crackdown on off-road bikes and e-scooters across Staffordshire.

Officers will be running Operation Reclaim throughout June with information from communities to target the “illegal and dangerous use” of such vehicles.

Staffordshire Police say 35 off-road bikes have already been seized across the county so far this year – and say the new clampdown will see any scooters or motorbikes being used illegally seized.

Inspector Chris Moss, from Staffordshire Police, said:

> “Off-road bikes are a persistent problem across Staffordshire and put pedestrians and other motorists at risk.  
>  
> “This campaign is all about keeping people safe on the roads so it is important that people are educated about road safety as well as driving and riding safely.  
>  
> “We’re committed to taking action against those who persistently put others at risk by driving dangerously and illegal on Staffordshire’s roads.”

Police are also reminding parents to be aware of [the laws around the use of e-scooters](https://www.staffordshire.police.uk/advice/advice-and-information/rs/road-safety/advice-escooters/?ref=lichfieldlive.co.uk), which mean they can only be used on private land or where they are part of a registered rental scheme.

Those caught riding them on footpaths or roads could face fines and their scooters being seized by officers.
