Illegal bike details

The News10NBC Team details breaking News, Traffic and Weather.

ROCHESTER, N.Y. — Rochester Police said in partnership with the New York State Police Aviation Unit, starting Monday afternoon, they have run details targeting illegal dirt bikes and ATV’s in Rochester.

During their details Monday and Tuesday afternoon, police said they have recovered 14 off-road vehicles, wrote 49 traffic tickets, 14 municipal code tickets and made one felony DWI arrest.

Police said as the weather continues to warm up, they will continue to run these details across the city of Rochester, as this becomes an issue in Rochester as the weather gets nicer.

Captain Greg Bello from Rochester police said since this week was the first week Rochester has seen warm weather in a long time, they wanted to get out there ahead of the problems.

Police also said they want riders to know they are putting themselves at risk of a ticket and their bikes at risk of seizure, with a fine of $500 for a first offense and $2,000 every time after that.
