Sergeant Grieve said: “We are aware of a number of complaints from members of the public in relation to the anti-social and dangerous riding of off-road bikes in the local area.
“The Carnoustie and Monifieth Community Policing Team take these reports seriously and are carrying out regular proactive work to identify those involved in this behaviour.
“By driving in this manner they are putting themselves and other members of the public at unnecessary risk and this is not acceptable.
“Members of the public are reminded that these unregistered off-road bikes cannot be driven on a public road, and are likely to have their bike seized if stopped by the Police.
“They can only be driven off-road and with the permission of the landowner.”
