Operative Trailblaze Hits Scarborough

Police are working with agencies this weekend to tackle the issue of anti-social and illegal use of off-road 4x4 vehicles and motorbikes within the Scarborough Rural area.

Officers say these activities have caused significant disruption to local forestry and wildlife habitats, threatening the balance of delicate ecosystems and impacting the safety and enjoyment of these areas for local communities and visitors alike.

A North Yorkshire Police statement says:

'We are asking for your help to tackle the ongoing issue of anti-social driving in our local forestry and wildlife areas. If you see any 4x4 vehicles or off-road motorbikes being used irresponsibly, please report it to us as soon as possible.

Your information is vital in helping us identify and address this behaviour, which is causing significant harm to the environment, wildlife, and the safety of others.

To report sightings, please provide as much detail as possible, including:

- The location of the incident
- The time and date
- A description of the vehicles or individuals involved

Thank you for your time and help with tackling this matter.'

We are a small locally owned and operated business which employs professional journalists and reporters. We do not receive any public funding or grants and we are entirely funded by our local commercial operations. We enjoy fabulous support from local businesses who work with us on their advertising and marketing campaigns, but the cost of providing high quality, well researched, fact checked local news coverage is significant.
