Police appeal launched after reports of unauthorised motorbike and quad bike usage at Banbury park

Officers with the TVP Cherwell were made aware of the incidents after reports were made to the Banbury Neighbourhood Team.

The Banbury Neighbourhood Team received reports of motorbikes, quad bikes and similar vehicles being ridden on public areas such as Princess Diana Park on Bretch Hill.

Police are also aware of videos and photos circulating on Facebook showing the offenders.

But none of the videos or pictures have been submitted to police.

Police are encouraging anyone with video footage or pictures of the motorbikes, quad bikes and similar vehicles being ridden on public areas such as a park to report it.

Could anyone with photos please submit them to [email protected] so police can identify suspects and 'deal with robustly.'
