Do you recognise these bikers?
Seaham and Easington police have appealed for information after a spate of hair-raising incidents across County Durham putting other road users at risk.
Police say they have received a number of calls about incidents in Seaham, Easington and Peterlee in recent weeks.
The riders have reportedly been seen travelling at high speeds on beaches, cycle tracks, and public footpaths.
Officers said they have seen the group riding on the Hart to Haswell walkway, in Blackhall Colliery and Seaton Village, and on Seaham seafront.
A witness appeal has been launched and police have issued photographs of people they would like to speak to regarding the reported behaviour.
PC Oliver, of Cleveland and Durham Specialist Operations Unit Motorcycle Section, said: “Individuals who ride without any regard for the safety of others are putting innocent people at serious risk of harm, and we will not tolerate it.

“If you can identify any of the riders in question, or have information about where they live or where they are storing their bikes, I would strongly encourage you to get in touch with us.
“With your help, we can identify these people, and where offences have been committed, look to seize bikes and prosecute those involved.”
Police are appealing for anyone who has any information they'd like to share or can identify those pictured, to contact Durham police on 101, or via the live chat facility on the Durham Constabulary website.
