A man has been given a five-year Criminal Behaviour Order as part of ongoing work to tackle crime linked to motorbikes and quad bikes in Leeds.
Rio-Leigh Hardwick, 18, of Mardale Crescent, Seacroft, was sentenced to 22 months in a young offenders institute at Leeds Crown Court last week after being convicted of handling stolen vehicles, dangerous driving and burglary.
He was also given a CBO which is an additional measure that can be granted upon conviction.
The Order prevents him from riding on any quad bike or mechanically propelled vehicle with three wheels or less in the Leeds district, and from associating with a number of named individuals in any public place.
It also bans him from possessing or wearing face coverings like ski masks or balaclavas in a public place, and from possessing bolt cutters, cutting saws, STIHL saws or hammers in a public place that can be used in conjunction with vehicle theft offences.
The Order will stay in place for five years and breaching it is an offence which could result in a jail term.
Sergeant Edel Fox from the Leeds Anti-Social Behaviour Team said: “We know that the antisocial use of quad bikes is an ongoing issue in parts of Leeds and we are determined to make full use of the available legislation to tackle it.
“The behaviour from a small group of individuals can have a huge impact on our wider communities and we want to send a clear message that this repeated offending will not be tolerated.
“This Order puts several conditions on this individual and I would urge anyone who witnesses any potential breach to report it to us so we can take action.”
The work forms part of the summer Safer Streets initiative in Leeds and across West Yorkshire, aimed at making town centres safer by tackling issues like antisocial behaviour, street crime, burglary and shop theft.
