WEST SPRINGFIELD, Mass. (WWLP) – The West Springfield Police Department have received several complaints about off-road dirt bikes riding illegally on public roads.
Officers continue to work on addressing the dirt bikers driving on the city roads with enforcing the motor vehicle laws of off-road dirt bikes. According to the West Springfield Police Department, a traffic stop of these vehicles, nearly 100 percent of the time, results in the riders failing to stop for the police and it turns into a pursuit.
With public safety being the main concern, a police pursuit of these illegal dirt bikes driving on public roads are quickly terminated so the public, officers, and riders themselves are not in a dangerous situation.
