POLICE in Dewsbury are revving up to take tough action against motorcycle pests.
The division is setting up a team to build on the successes of last year and tackle the anti-social use of motorcycles.
Sgt Alan Kaye, who heads the road traffic department, said: "Two officers have gone through rigorous training and are now ready to hit the road."
Pcs Nigel Law and Robert Hampshire are taking on the challenge,
Nigel, 24, has been a policeman for two years and has had an interest in road, off-road and sports bikes for more than 10 years.
Robert, 32, from Wakefield, will have been working for West Yorkshire Police for three years this summer.
He said: "I have transferred from uniform patrol in Dewsbury and am very much looking forward to getting out there and doing the job.
"I have had motorbikes for more than 14 years and will enjoy the challenges that this role affords me."
Sgt Kaye said: "Many of the calls we get about nuisance behaviour are from people being plagued by noise from off-road motorbikes.
"It's horrendous for them having to listen to the noise.
"It can severely affect people's quality of life, causing a great deal of stress," he added.
