Police swooped on Bolton Woods Quarry after reports of anti-social quad bike and off-road motorcycle antics. Officers responded to calls near Livingstone Road and Poplars Park Road in Bradford East, West Yorkshire.
Riders Scatter as Coppers Arrive
As usual, several riders fled the scene when police turned up. But one quad bike wasn’t so lucky. It was stopped and seized under Section 59 of the Police Reform Act. The rider has been identified and will face charges.
Environmental Damage Spurs Police Action
Expect the usual “kids just having fun” defence. But cops revealed shocking before-and-after photos showing once-green land now trashed by repeated illegal off-roading. This is no harmless joyride—it’s causing serious damage.
Police Warn: Illegal Riding Puts Public at Risk
Police stressed it’s not their job to find legal places for these riders. Their priority is public safety, protecting local residents, and preserving green spaces. Illegal riding is a public nuisance, endangers lives, and scars the environment. That’s why the crackdown will continue.
