Operation HardHit was launched earlier this year in response to multiple reports from members of the local community of off-road bikers causing anti-social behaviour, riding without helmets in pedestrian areas and actively evading law enforcement on electric motorbikes.
The initiative was designed to curb future irresponsible riding in the area and officers from the Warrington Beat Team and the Local Policing Unit ( LPU) have been working proactively to dismantle the groups of individuals intent on causing anti-social behaviour in the town, endangering themselves and pedestrians.
