Residents report illegal off-road bike activity in Flint, raising safety and noise concerns. Police seek public assistance.
These bikes pose problems for the police, especially recently in the county. Starting in 2025, North Wales Police handled numerous bike incidents. They received complaints from Flint, Oakenholt, and Connah’s Quay regarding the bikes’ presence.
Concerns about bikes have resurfaced in Flint. A police officer reported seeing motorbikes near Llys Curig and Coed-Onn-Road, riding repeatedly throughout the day.
The police urge the public to share any relevant information, including locations, times, and bike descriptions. Rider names and storage locations can also be helpful, which you can tell them via phone or community alert system.
Parents should inform their children about these regulations. Prevent them from riding on roads if they lack the authority, license, or insurance. Illegal bikes are likely to be seized by police, which may be followed by court cases. Police patrols will continue operating in the affected areas.
