Plain clothed police officers hunting anti-social riders who are causing misery to residents will continue to seize bikes in order to nip the problem in the bud.
Officers from the Hyndburn Neighbourhood policing team have been patrolling hot spot areas all this week, and on Sunday, the green moto-cross bike, pictured, was seized from Whalley Road in Clayton-le-Moors.
Police now say plain clothed and uniform officers will carry on targeting nuisance bikers on their daily patrols.
On Wednesday, a spokesperson for the police said: "Hyndburn Neighbourhood policing team officers have today been out and about in plain clothes and in uniform targeting off road bikes.
"This is a persistent issue that has caused annoyance and misery to residents in the last few months.
"A green moto-cross bike was seized on Sunday evening in Whalley Road in Clayton-le-Moors.
"Officers have targeted the Oswaldtwistle, Church, Arden Hall and Great Harwood areas and will continue this evening."
