MEASURES to tackle illegal off-road 4x4s, motorbikes and other motoring offences in Denbighshire and rural Wrexham were taken at the weekend.

Around a dozen motorists were reported for offences including illegal registration plates, speeding and careless driving.

Officers from Wrexham and Denbighshire neighbourhood policing teams, Special Constabulary, the North Wales Police road policing unit and staff from Natural Resources Wales were deployed to tackle the problem, following concerns raised by local residents.

A dozen motorists were reported for offences, including illegal registration plates, speeding and careless driving.

Sergeant Luke Hughes, of the Wrexham Rural Neighbourhood Policing team said: “We will continue to take action against those who show no regard for road traffic laws, or those with no respect for the local community and wildlife.

"We wish to make our communities and these areas of natural beauty safe and accessible for all to enjoy and will run similar events regularly through the summer."
