Police say antisocial behaviour involving vehicles remains a persistent problem across parts of east Suffolk, with one Lowestoft neighbourhood recently identified as a hotspot.
Suffolk Police report receiving a steady flow of complaints from people in Lowestoft, Beccles and Bungay - about antisocial use of vehicles, including motorbikes. Officers say the Normanston area of Lowestoft has seen increased reports in recent weeks.
During foot patrols in the area, officers spotted a small motorbike being ridden away along Normanston Drive. A short time later, the same bike was located nearby on Evans Drive in Lowestoft and was seized by police.
Officers say enforcement action like this is often not visible to the wider public, but is carried out regularly in response to information provided by residents. Police have stressed that reports from the community play a key role in helping them identify problem areas and take action.
Suffolk Police say they continue to monitor antisocial behaviour involving vehicles and will follow up on reports where evidence allows. Residents are being encouraged to keep reporting concerns, as this helps officers build a clearer picture of ongoing issues and target patrols where they are most needed.
Police say their aim is to reduce disruption, improve safety and reassure communities affected by ongoing vehicle-related antisocial behaviour.
