Police have called on Flintshire residents to help tackle the issue of off-road bikes in the area. 

There have been numerous reports of off-road bikes being driven dangerously in the Flintshire North area of late, with calls for more to be done. 

Connah's Quay county councillor, Bernie Attridge, fears that "someone is going to get killed" because of it and called on North Wales Police to tackle the issue. 

Last week, an operation was launched by Flintshire North Police to combat the dangerous drivers.

Operation Blue Takeoff, will see interceptors and the drone team attending specific areas, along with unmarked vehicles and officers, to target the riders.

Officers will also work in partnership with Flintshire Council and local councillors to tackle the issue, with target hardening in place to make access more difficult for the riders.

Now, North Wales Police have requested that residents continue to report any off-road bike incidents that could help with Operation Blue Takeoff. 

A North Wales Police spokesperson said: "North Wales Police and the Flintshire North Neighbourhood Policing Team would like to thank you for your continued support and reporting with regards to the off-road bikes being driven around the area.

"We are working closely with the local council and councillors to resolve the issue.

"An operation will be taking place and thus we request you continue to make us aware when the off-road bikes are travelling so that we can identify key times and locations."
