An officer from the North Flintshire Neighbourhood Policing team arrived at the location and successfully seized the offending vehicle.

A spokesperson for the team posted on Facebook: “We received multiple calls today regarding an off-road bike being ridden near Griffiths Court in Shotton.”

“Well done NWP, you’ve done a great job,” said one resident. Another remarked, “A job well done! Thank you.”
