Officers from your local Neighbourhood Policing Team will be out on patrol this weekend as part of Operation Trailblaze, targeting the illegal and anti‑social use of off‑road vehicles in and around Rural Scarborough. Operation Trailblaze aims to: - Protect our countryside, farmland, and local wildlife
- Prevent damage to forestry, crops, and natural habitats
- Reduce nuisance and dangerous behaviour linked to off‑road bikes and vehicles
👮♂️ You may see officers on foot, in patrol vehicles, or using our own off‑road motorcycles to access remote rural areas. We’ll be engaging with the community, offering advice, and taking enforcement action where necessary. How to report incidents If you see illegal or anti‑social off‑road vehicle use, please report it: - 📞Call 101 to report non‑emergency incidents
- 🌐Report online via the police website (search “Report 101 online”)
- 🕵️Remain anonymous by contacting Crimestoppers at 0800 555 111
