POLICE have warned people using off-road bikes illegally that drones will track them to their homes.
North Wales Police's North Flintshire team issued a warning ahead of half-term, whereby it expects to see an increase in anti-social behaviour.
Concerns continue over the anti-social use of off-road bikes in the Deeside area, which culminated in a young child suffering serious injuries after being struck by one last month.

The Flintshire North policing team has so far seized 11 off-road bikes this year.
A spokesperson said: "Fair warning, we will be utilising drones, we will use them to follow you back to your home address, where we will attend and not only take the bike. But also be issuing parents with traffic offence reports for using/causing/permitting the use of a motor vehicle without insurance and without a licence.
"So for those parents, if you do not want points on your licence. We suggest you take your children to the proper facilities and not allow them on the road."
