"DANGEROUS" scrambler or pit bikes are being ridden around a Poole park in the early hours of the morning.

Police are investigating reports of anti-social behaviour at Branksome Recreation Ground after residents complained of bikers.

Incidents are often happening late at night.

A spokesperson from Poole police said: "We have had numerous reports of dangerous scrambler or pit bikes being ridden around Branksome Recreation Ground and surrounding roads.

"This has been occurring late at night and into the early hours."

Anyone who sees or hears the bikes racing around should contact police as riders are "putting both themselves and members of the public in danger", the officer said.

Bikers caught could be charged with a range of offences, from riding without the appropriate insurance to dangerous driving.

Motorbikes could also be seized.
