It was part of wider pressure on anti-social behaviour from off-road riders over the weekend.

Officers had been patrolling Motney Hill on Saturday due to ongoing problems from the group.

As they drove in, the rider of one moped dumped it and took off on another.

It was found that the vehicle had no tax, MOT or insurance.

Officers continued to scour hotspots in Medway today as part of a collaboration against the problem with Medway Council.
