Police are hunting a “reckless” yob who revved his off-road bike around schoolkids and a teacher in St Andrews.
The incident last Tuesday on Roundhill Road – which runs near Greyfriars RC Primary School – caused the children and teacher “great anxiety and concern”, according to police.
The same person is said to have been driving unlawfully and dangerously in other areas of St Andrews – including on East Sands beach and doing wheelies in the town centre.
Police say they received several calls about the biker’s behaviour between noon on January 7 and 2.50pm on January 8 from areas including Kinnesburn/Pipeland Road, Bell Street and Pilmour Links.
