Man arrested in connection with road traffic offences after two off-road bikes were seized in Aberdeen

A man has been arrested and charged in connection with road traffic offences after two off-road bikes were seized in Aberdeen.

The 23-year-old was arrested after officers executed a warrant at an address in Danestone around 9am on Wednesday, 2 April, 2025.

A report will be submitted to the Procurator Fiscal and he is expected to appear at court at a later date.

Sergeant Ricky Burry of the Community Action Team said: “We know that the anti-social use of these bikes can have detrimental effect to residents in our local communities.

“Those that insist on using their vehicles illegally may face prosecution with the potential of incurring fines, driving bans and in certain circumstances, prison sentences. Vehicles that are seized may be destroyed. 

“We continue to rely on the support of the public to provide us with descriptions of vehicles, identity of riders, if they are known, and places where motorbikes are being kept or where fuel for these vehicles is being bought. These pieces of information are all invaluable.

“We would ask anyone who has any information about incidents of anti-social behaviour or illegal or dangerous use of vehicles to get in touch with us on 101.”
