Police have seized multiple off-road bikes after teenage riders almost hit pedestrians.
Officers were called to reports a vehicle was being driven through Gravesend dangerously.
The biker was said to have been riding along pedestrian routes at around 10.30am on July 30, narrowly missing those walking along New Road and Stone Street.
Officers attended and following inquiries and reviews of CCTV, they managed to find and seize the bike abandoned in Lawrence Square, Northfleet.
Later that week, patrols were made aware of another off-road bike being driven near Ordnance Road.
It was reported to have been driven in a nearby park near members of the public at around 2.45pm on Sunday (August 4).
Officers quickly found and seized the bike and the rider was detained.
A 14-year-old from Northfleet and an 18-year-old from Gravesend have since both been reported for traffic offences and are under investigation.
