MERSEYSIDE has seized 7 off road bikes
after search warrants were executed at storage premises in Liverpool on Tuesday,
21 June 2016, as part of Operation Brookdale, the Force's crackdown on illegal
off road bikes. The warrants were carried out by neighbourhood and Matrix
officers at premises at storage facilities in the Baltic Triangle and in
Trafalgar Dock on Waterloo Road, as a response to recent information provided by
the local community and businesses.

Neighbourhood Inspector Steve Rice said:- "I would like to
thank the community for the information which has led to today's seizures. We
believe that all of these vehicles are stolen and are carrying out enquiries to
identify their original owners. If anyone recognises their bike from the photos,
please contact:- 101. Our evidence shows that these bikes have been used
illegally and anti socially in Liverpool, causing harm and distress to local
residents. Local businesses also have an important part to play in assisting us
if they become aware that their facilities are being used by criminal gangs to
store these bikes, and we appreciate any assistance that they can provide."

Superintendent Jenny Sims, who is leading Operation Brookdale,
said:- "This brilliant result shows just what an impact we can have when
communities and businesses provide information on bikes causing problems in
their area. If you continue to do so, we will continue to take the sort of
positive action seen today, with another seven bikes safely removed from our
streets."
