Please attribute the following to Acting Sergeant Mike Skates, Foxton Police:
Police in Foxton and Foxton Beach are proactively dealing with reports made over bad driving on dirt and quad bikes in the area.
Three bikes have already been impounded, and several young people have been spoken to in relation to the reports. Charges have not been ruled out.
Police would like to urge all quad bike and dirt bike riders to ride safely. Wear your helmets, drive to a safe speed, and know your responsibilities.
Police are asking the public to continue to make reports on dangerous driving so that officers can follow them up and hold offenders to account.
Photos and video footage is helpful for Police to follow up on offenders that quickly speed off when driving unlawfully. These can also be used to identify the bikes, hotspots and times dangerous driving occurs and helps to identify the riders.
If you see any dangerous driving, call 111 immediately.
