A bike was seized by Sussex Police in a village in East Sussex following reports of anti-social behaviour involving the vehicles.

PCSO’s Davidson and Nicoll located a bike along Station Road in Hellingly, whilst on patrol, subsequently seizing the vehicle.

Police said that the bike was seized under Section 165 of the Road Traffic Act due to having no tax, no insurance and no number plate.

Police added that the driver of the bike in question was only 12 years of age.
