Two youths have been charged after police seized off-road bikes during patrols at a popular Ayrshire country park.

Officers stepped up high-visibility patrols in Eglinton Country Park, Kilwinning, following complaints from the public about damage being caused to grassed areas.

Police say two young riders were caught illegally using off-road bikes in the park over the past week and have now been charged with various road traffic offences.

Their bikes have been seized and officers have vowed to continue targeting nuisance riding and other forms of anti-social behaviour in the park and surrounding areas.
