Police warning over use of mini-motos in Middlewich

MIDDLEWICH police are urging mini-moto users to ‘be sensible’ after a spate of incidents over the last week.

PSCO Lorraine Meggs told the Guardian that she had received numerous reports of people riding the bikes on footpaths and not wearing helmets.

Incidents were reported in the Croxton Lane area, the towpath behind The Big Lock, The Moorings and Webb Lane.

“They should pack it in and be sensible,” said PSCO Meggs.

“People can be alarmed and distressed by antisocial behaviour like this. It’s an offence to ride on footpaths.

“We can give a warning or seize the bike.”
