PCSO Berridge said: “Scrambler bikes such as these have been causing issues in and around Melton over the recent months after concerns were raised from calls on 101, face to face interactions and social media messages.

“This bike was seized due to being ridden on a public highway and with the rider not having a driving licence.

“It will need to made roadworthy or it will be crushed.”
