Appeal for information: illegal dirt bike riders in Belmont
Porirua Police are seeking information about a group of five males who regularly ride dirt bikes from Waitangirua or Cannons Creek, across iwi land, into Belmont Park and then Belmont Farm.
The group has been responsible for causing damage to multiple fences and newly planted native trees. Their behaviour on the bikes is endangering the public, including families using the park, road users and workers in the park.
They are also terrifying livestock, including sheep that are currently lambing.
If you witness these activities or have information that can assist Police, please call 111 if it is happening now, or make a report via 105 if it is after the fact.
Please quote the file number 250718/6415.
Alternatively information can be provided anonymously to Crime Stoppers on 0800 555 111.
