POLICE in Scarborough will crack down on the illegal use of motorbikes and quad bikes this summer.

Officers in the town will on the lookout for people riding vehicles without insurance, a licence or in a reckless manner in coming months, and have urged the public to report any antisocial or illegal use of motor vehicles on 101.

The move comes after a man in his twenties was arrested and charged with driving a quad bike without due care and attention, driving without an appropriate licence or insurance and failing to stop in the Eastfield area.

He will appear in front of magistrates in Scarborough next month.
