RESIDENTS in Westbury have complained about teenagers riding small motorbikes around Leigh Park.
They claim the children are causing a danger to pedestrians by riding the bikes on footpaths.
In a post on local social media, one resident said: “Does anyone know who the kids are riding small motorbikes in and around Leigh park?
“They are causing a nuisance riding around on public roads and along pathways where people are walking with kids and dogs.”
A Wiltshire Police spokesman said: “We received calls from members of the public last Friday and Saturday (March 13 and 14) reporting teenagers in Westbury riding motorbikes in an anti-social manner.
“Officers attended and carried out a search of the area, but did not find anyone.
“We are aware this is an issue concerning the local community so will be aiming to increase foot patrols.”
