A 15-year-old boy was arrested after police were called to off-road bikers causing a nuisance around Dudley.
The teenager was arrested on suspicion of dangerous driving after police responded to reports of bikes driving around the Wren's Nest and the Castle Hill Woods area on Saturday (January 20) afternoon.
They dispersed a group and made the arrest, seizing the teen's bike.
He has been released on bail and referred to West Midlands Police's youth offending team.
Dudley Neighbourhood Policing Manager, Inspector Sarah Smyth, said: "As we showed on Saturday, we’re not just going to give a telling off to those involved.
"We’ll make arrests and we’ll seize bikes so anyone taking part in this activity should understand the consequences."
She added: “We take the issue of off-road bikes being ridden in an antisocial manner very seriously as we know how much it upsets residents.
“It’s disruptive and distressing and people often feel intimated by these riders.
"It’s also potentially very dangerous."
