Six people have been reported to the procurator fiscal following the latest stage in a police operation targeting individuals riding motorcycles dangerously or illegally.
Officers in charge of Operation Trinity said a 16-year-old male was arrested and charged with various road traffic offences as well as the theft of a bike, which was later recovered, following reports of a motorcycle being driven on the pavement in the Marchburn area.
Two 17-year-old males were charged with driving motorbikes in the Hazlehead Park area, and an 18-year-old male was charged with dangerous driving on Union Street.
A 21-year old male was charged with driving a motorcycle dangerously on Persley Bridge, and a 27-year-old male was arrested and charged with 10 offences relating to the anti-social use of a motorcycle throughout the city. The bike was also seized by police.
Operation Trinity, now in its sixth year, began as a direct result of concerns from communities across the city.
A dedicated team of officers works with colleagues from the roads policing unit, city wardens and the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service, as well as members of the public, in the effort to tackle the issue.
Sergeant Lee Jardine of Nigg community policing team, said: “We are listening to the concerns of the community in respect of illegally driven motorcycles and are taking action against those responsible.
“Again I would urge the public to continue to call in with as much information as possible, including descriptions of those involved, the motorbikes themselves and the locations where they are being used or stored.”
Anyone wishing to report information relating to Operation Trinity is urged to contact Police Scotland on 101, or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
