A DIRT bike was seized from a teenager by police this week.
The vehicle was being used by a 16-year-old boy on Candren Road, Paisley.
Police say residents in the town have been experiencing antisocial behaviour as a result of youths riding bikes in a dangerous manner.
In a Facebook post, Renfrewshire & Inverclyde Police Division said: "This dirt bike was seized from a 16-year-old male in Candren Road.
"We will continue to do everything we can to tackle the antisocial behaviour experienced by our Paisley residents as a result of youths riding these bikes in a dangerous manner.
"It is an offence to ride an off-road bike like this in a public park or other types of common land, footpaths and bridleways.
"It is also an offence to ride an unregistered off-road bike on a road or other public place. To ride on private land you should ask the permission of the landowner.
"If you need advice on where it is safe and lawful to use an off-road bike, or if you know who is using these bikes and contributing to this problem please contact us via 101."
