A member of the public had initially reported seeing the three machines pictured below weaving in and out of traffic along Catcote Road at approximately 6.25pm today (Monday October 22) without helmets or lights (including one with three people on board). PCSOs had managed to catch a glimpse of one of the pillion passengers, giving an indication as to where they might later be found, and less than five minutes later the hunch paid off when all three motorcycles, which were also found to be untaxed, uninsured and without MOTs ,were located 3 miles away and duly seized, to the delight of a number of residents who told police the same group of youths had been a menace for months and were now looking forward to some welcome respite. Hartlepool NPT were pleased to help too, as taking to the roads with no lights on in the hours of darkness is a tragedy just waiting to happen and was surely averted today.
