POLICE last night conducted patrols to crackdown on anti-social behaviour by motorists meeting at Teesside Park.

Officers from Cleveland and Durham Specialist Operations Unit aimed to deter anti-social and illegal driving at the weekly event.

Two drivers were issued tickets for careless and inconsiderate driving.

A police spokesman said: "They can have their day in court/three penalty points and the £100 fine or undertake a safety course, if they are eligible.

"Three vehicles were recovered by police, four section 59 notices were issued and a male was reported for no insurance and no licence.

"If the motorcyclist who was riding around at speed on an off road motorcycle reads this.. we will be in touch shortly.

"This is one of the disadvantages of not wearing a helmet."

Young motorists meet every Wednesday night near the cinema.

Police have reported an increase in problems in recent months.
