As NYPD “Roving Band” Pursuits Continue in Norwood, NYPD Cracks Down with More Targeted Seizures

By DAVID GREENE & SÍLE MOLONEY
As the “roving bands” of illegal dirt bikes and ATVs [all-terrain vehicles] continued in the north Bronx throughout March, even after one rider was sought for tossing a brick at police officers in Norwood, and a second ATV biker was struck by an SUV in Bedford Park, potentially while fleeing police, the NYPD have stepped up targeted seizures of such bikes, most recently in the vicinity of East Tremont Avenue and Creston Avenue in the Mt. Hope section.
