Neighbourhood policing officers have been carrying out targeted patrols across Bridlington after receiving concerns from local residents regarding anti-social behaviour, traffic offences and illegal vehicle use.

The afternoon operation began at the Co-op store on Marton Gate, where Police Community Support Officers (PCSOs) continued efforts to address reports of anti-social behaviour in the car park area.

Officers warned that enforcement action will continue against individuals causing disruption, including groups gathering in the car park, obstructing access for motorists and engaging in dangerous behaviour around moving traffic.

The operation then moved to Queensgate Square and Havelock Place, where the entire Neighbourhood Policing Team focused on drivers breaching a local traffic order.

Police say the access-only route is in place for safety reasons and is not suitable for heavy traffic. During the enforcement activity, officers issued five Traffic Offence Reports to motorists found contravening restrictions.

One vehicle was also seized after officers discovered it was being driven without valid insurance.

While carrying out checks in the area, officers encountered an e-bike travelling directly towards police personnel. The rider was subsequently stopped by officers and the e-bike was seized.

Humberside Police say the operation resulted in several positive interventions and forms part of ongoing work to address concerns raised by residents and improve safety across the town.

The force has reiterated its commitment to tackling anti-social behaviour, promoting road safety and responding to issues affecting local communities.
