Police have seized 50 motorbikes and charged 50 people in a crackdown on antisocial behaviour in Aberdeen.
Operation Trinity was launched in April to target nuisance bikers who cause chaos in their communities by riding motorcycles illegally or dangerously.
Two cars have also been seized by officers.
Inspector Andy Barclay, who has recently taken over as the Northfield community policing team inspector and oversees the Operation Trinity team, said: “This is the seventh consecutive year that the operation has run and incidents tend to increase over the school summer holidays. Typically the age group involved with the antisocial use of motorcycles is from 15-21-years-old.
“Antisocial motorcycle use can be anything from speeding, riding on footpaths and open land to not wearing the right protective clothing, which carries a risk for not only the public, but also the rider themselves.
“The vast majority of motorcyclists and motorists obey the law but there is still a small minority who ignore traffic rules and ride dangerously and irresponsibly, causing a menace and more importantly a danger to the public.
“This is not acceptable for the communities of Aberdeen and we will continue to target those intent on behaving in this way.”
He said officers had acted on intelligence provided by the public to follow up lines of inquiry.
“The team has followed up all of the calls we have received, made further inquiry and taken action where appropriate which is why, 12 weeks into the operation, we have dealt with 50 individuals,” he added.
