A police drone helped catch an off-road biker causing an issue in a West Cumbrian village.
Allerdale police said they captured the footage of the bike riding through the streets of Flimby, near Maryport, on Friday.
They said on social media: “Initially the bikes were on private land and not an issue, until they decided to go into the village.
“On the wrong side of the road, on footpaths, bikes not equipped for the road, no driving licence, no insurance and clearly no understanding of the roads.”
The bike was later seized.
Allerdale police added: “Our last post [on social media] around off road bikes received over 500 likes from the silent majority who want their towns to be safe places.
“We will continue to seize these bikes if used illegally, our drones allow us to do this safely.
“We got a lot more footage which we are not sharing yet but shows even worse driving.”
