Priorities
Northumbria Police are aware of the community concerns regarding motorcycle disorder (MCD) and electric motorbikes and we welcome contact into Northumbria Police and our partners which can be provided in a confidential manner to assist in identifying those responsible for such ASB nuisance. Northumbria Police response was to set up Operation Capio which assists in the dealing with the motorcycle disorder. Hotspots for MCD are identified through the public and partner agency meetings such as Neighbourhood Priorities which is led by our anti-social behaviour coordinator. Recently we have undertaken operations which have resulted in vehicles being seized and we are actively working with partners to undertake tenancy action where evidence of the occupiers indicate they are involved in MCD. As a police force we are looking to improve the community intelligence and also undertake further operations and tenancy action regarding this area of ASB. More recently operations using various tactics including the use of drones, plain clothes operations and a multi-agency approach including South Tyneside Council staff have been undertaken. In relation to the pursuit of any vehicle then the Police must be appropriately trained, and the pursuit must be risk assessed in line with their training and health and safety. There are a range of tactics which can be used in relation to the motorcycle disorder, again these tactics must be undertaken by appropriately trained staff. Further tactics are being developed by Operation dragoon which is part of Northumbria Police motor patrols department. To note, South Tyneside Area Command have undertaken a resourcing review with a neighbourhood support team being implemented, as part of their taskings they will undertake some operational activity to deal with motorcycle disorder as well as work closely with the local authority operational MCD point of contact.
