West Midlands Police helped to support the force's Operation Advance Day by stationing six off-road officers in Stevens Park, Stourbridge, to chase off would-be offenders.
The officers, all riding the West Midlands Police's new one-year-old Honda CRF motorcycles, lay in wait at the park after receiving a large number of calls regarding anti-social behaviour in the area.
It was only a matter of minutes before officers saw their first offender, who was riding an off-road bike in the park while wearing a balaclava.
Talking about the operation, Sergeant Fran Allen, an off-road officer with the West Midlands Police, said: "The force traffic team are here supporting Operation Advance with the Dudley Local Policing Team and the Halesowen Neighbourhood Team.
