Cambridgeshire Constabulary said it had received an increasing number of reports of youngsters riding mopeds dangerously in residential areas.

Police said@ “We are treating this as a priority and have plans in place both frontline and behind the scenes. We need community reporting and intelligence to help us ID these people, as catching them in the act is an exceptionally risky strategy.

The incidents have mainly been happening after school hours and weekends and offenders have been using various types of vehicles including mopeds and quad bikes.
