Off-road bikes have been causing disruption across Lancashire this weekend.
The police seized three bikes after reports of anti-social activity around Lee Quarry, in Bacup.
The police also put out an appeal after off-road bikes damaged the rugby pitch at Jepson Way playing field in Blackpool.
A police spokesperson said: “Following reports from local residents about off road bike activities in the area of Lee Quarry your local neighbourhood team have seized three off road bikes this morning.
“These bikes were riding in an anti-social manner on unauthorised land. Off road bikes, riding in anti-social manner are a repeated community concern and we will continue to target this area.”
Police said “selfish” riders on motocross bikes and quad bikes damaged the Blackpool field.
A police spokesperson said: “Thanks to a selfish few on motocross bikes and quad bikes.
