Police were called to reports of a quad bike and motorbike being ridden recklessly
Police were called to reports of a quad bike and motorbike being “ridden recklessly” across a village recreation ground on Wednesday, June 3. Cottenham Parish Council has claimed that the incident caused damage and created a “serious safety concern”.
According to the parish council, three individuals entered via the Lambs Lane entrance in the village. A spokesperson said they narrowly missed a member of staff on the pathway alongside the village hall.
The council reported the incident to the police who received “quite a few” calls about it. Officers attended but those involved had left the area, according to Cambridgeshire Police.
A spokesperson for the force said: “We take reports like this very seriously and encourage people to continue reporting information to us. The concerns have been passed onto our local neighbourhood policing team to monitor and liaise with the community.”
The parish council has asked anyone who sees the vehicles at the recreation ground or elsewhere in the village to report it to police. They can contact the council “where appropriate”.
In a statement, Cottenham Parish Council said: “Unfortunately, we’ve experienced issues today with a quad bike and motorbike being ridden recklessly across the recreation ground, causing damage and creating a serious safety concern.
“The police have been informed and are aware of the incident. The three individuals initially entered via the Lambs Lane entrance and showed little regard for other users of the rec. Worryingly, they narrowly missed a member of staff on the pathway alongside the Village Hall.”
