On Wednesday, Fareham and Gosport High Harm Reduction Team in the Forton Road area seized the scrambler-style motorbike without MOT, tax, or insurance documents.
A representative from Hampshire Constabulary said: ‘The bike, which was seized in Forton Road, had no MOT, tax or insurance, but members of the public had seen it being ridden in the area.

Last year saw Gosport police launched a crackdown on the illegal use of dirt bikes and scrambler bikes, concentrating a ‘focused, visible presence’ at Lee-on-the-Solent recreation ground, Howe Road and Alver Valley Country Park.
Last February police and crime commissioner Donna Jones revealed the force would get three dirt bikes to pursue these young offenders on bikes, promising 'an entirely new tactical option'.
