Boy, 9, reported for off-road motorbike offence in Dundee

A nine-year-old boy is among six people reported as part of a crackdown on unlicensed off-road motorbikes in Dundee.

Police said five males aged between nine and 35, and a 38-year-old woman, had been reported to the relevant authorities for road traffic offences.

Four of the vehicles were seized during a day of action in the city on Sunday.

A 39-year-old man was also charged with threatening and abusive behaviour.

Officers said the crackdown was in response to concerns from the local community about the use of the motorcycles.

Police Scotland said further local action targeting use of the vehicles would be carried out in the coming weeks.

A spokesperson said: "Unfortunately, we are continuing to see young children driving these types of vehicles and we would appeal to parents and guardians to be aware of the dangers that these types of vehicles pose and the legislation around their use.

"As a reminder, unregistered, off-road motorcycles such as Sur-Rons cannot be driven in public places, which includes roads and public parks."

The spokesperson added that parents and guardians of children found driving unregistered off-road motorbikes may face prosecution.
