UPDATE on continued enforcement on illegal and dangerous motorcycle, dirt bike and ATV activity in our Twin Cities... 8 illegal or dangerous operators now taken off our streets.

AMAZING work being done by the Fitchburg Police Department, together with the Leominster Police Department, to address the illegal operation of motorcycles, dirt bikes, mopeds and ATVs on our streets.

This has been an ongoing concern from residents...groups of riders operating illegally, sometimes without licenses, insurance or properly registered vehicles, weaving through traffic and creating dangerous situations for drivers, pedestrians and neighborhoods.

Our departments have been working together behind the scenes as well as out on the roads... gathering information, identifying repeat offenders, sharing intelligence and coordinating enforcement efforts across both cities.

Over the past several days, Fitchburg Police have continued heavy enforcement actions involving multiple vehicles, with criminal charges being pursued where appropriate, including unlicensed operation, negligent operation and illegally attaching plates. Several motorcycles, scooters and dirt bikes have also been removed from our streets.

Legal and responsible motorcycles or recreational vehicles riders are NOT being targeted. This effort is targeting the dangerous and illegal operation on public roadways that puts everyone, including the riders themselves, at risk.

The Fitchburg and Leominster Police Departments are also asking residents to help by reporting activity when you see it. Useful information includes:

📍 Exact location
🕐 Time observed
➡️ Direction of travel
🏍️ Bike color or description
👕 Rider clothing or helmet description
🏠 Locations where the bikes are regularly stored or seen
📸 Photos or video, only when they can be obtained safely

Please do not chase, follow, confront or attempt to stop riders yourself.

☎️ Call 911 for an emergency or an immediate public safety threat.
