“We need your help to tackle the use of such vehicles,” said officers.

“Do you know who is riding these bikes? Let us know and we can seize them.”

South Yorkshire Police this week described the ‘brave and bold tactics’ the force is now using to crack down on motorbike-based crime in Sheffield, with two riders who were trying to evade officers being knocked from their bikes to stop them getting away.

Anyone with information about the incident at Mortomley Park is asked to call South Yorkshire Police on 101, quoting incident number 434 of July 29.
