POLICE have raised concerns over 'anti-social' off-road motorbike riding throughout Flintshire.

North Wales Police say they received a 'number of reports' involving the vehicles over the weekend.

Off-road bikes can be used on private land, with the landowner's permission. The Road Traffic Act 1988 includes provisions that make it illegal to drive a mechanically propelled vehicle on land where permission has not been given.

On Saturday (July 27), at around 1pm, North Wales Police say they received 'numerous' calls from the public, regarding concerns about a 'number of' bikes being ridden anti-socially in the Maes Pennant area of Holywell.

Police officers attended the area and are now appealing for CCTV footage from residents.
