CCTV footage of people riding motorbikes illegally near Thetford Forest has been released by police as a warning to those who may do the same.

Officers are appealing for help to identify three people following an incident earlier this month.

Three people were seen riding motorbikes in Lynn Road, near the BP garage in Weeting, at 1.30pm on Saturday, February 4.

CCTV footage shows them riding the motorbikes at speed and performing wheelies on the road.

PC Les Maguire, from Breckland South Local Policing Team, said that the illegal use of motorbikes in Thetford has been set as one of the top local policing priorities.

He said: “This kind of behaviour detracts from the local area for residents and causes a serious danger to lawful road users and those enjoying Thetford Forest legally.

“In most cases, the riders involved will not have insurance or MOT and many will not have a driver’s licence and/or motorbike category."

Anyone with information should contact PC Les Maguire at Breckland South Policing Team on 101 or email leslie.maguire@norfolk.police.uk.
