Reports of Dangerous behaviour and damage to public land have led police to seize a number of dirt bikes in Huntly.
Meanwhile, two people have been charged with failing to stop, obstruction and disorderly behaviour.
Waikato West Area Commander Inspector Will Loughrin said the seizures, part of ongoing Operation Hawk, focused on illegal street racing and antisocial behaviour causing fear and disruption in the community.
“In the past few months, police have become aware of increasing incidents of dirt bikes being ridden in a dangerous and disruptive manner, particularly around the Huntly area,” Loughrin said.
Police allege that the behaviour included riding with balaclavas on, in groups along paths, weaving across roads at speed and causing damage to public land including parks and reserves.
