Iann Fenney has been jailed for six months after officers targeted nuisance driving in West Lancashire.
On September 4, the 31 year old of Parker Crescent, Ormskirk, was spotted driving a quad bike in an anti-social manner down Northway in Skelmersdale.
Despite trying to get away from officers by going off-road and covering his face, police recognised Fenney (pictured). He was later located and the bike seized.
Following a search of his home address, officers also found a quantity of cannabis and Fenney was arrested and charged with driving whilst disqualified, driving without a license, driving without insurance and possession of a Class B drug.
Fenney was sentenced to 24 weeks in prison and has been disqualified from driving for two years, 133 days.
Sergeant Dave Butcher said: “It’s great to see that a quad bike which has been causing nuisance has been taken off the roads and can no longer be an issue for local residents.
“Off-road bike and quad nuisance is something that our local community has raised as a real issue. I hope that this sends out the message that we are listening, and we are committed to working alongside our partners to tackle it.
“I would urge anyone who has any information about these types of vehicles being ridden inappropriately to let us know about it so that we can work to stop it.”
Op Centurion is a county-wide crackdown on anti-social behaviour, led by Lancashire Constabulary and backed by police and crime commissioner Clive Grunshaw.
