Police have seized a handful of quadbikes, motorbikes and cars believed to be linked to anti-social behaviour in Thurrock.

Officers from Essex Police’s community policing teams joined forces with Thurrock Council enforcement officers to raid garage across the borough on Tuesday, July 27.

The teams had received reports of several vehicles including cars, motorbikes and quadbikes, being driven across the area anti-socially and causing a nuisance to the community.

Searches saw two cars, six motorbikes and two quadbikes, which were believed to be linked to the reports, seized.

Some of these vehicles were reported as stolen and others had no registered keeper, police have said.
