West Midlands Police are appealing for assistance in identifying two individuals suspected of riding an off-road motorcycle illegally in Bilston.

The incident reportedly occurred on the afternoon of 7th August 2026 on grassland in Bankfield Road.

The motorcycle, believed to be a Surron, was seen being ridden in an anti-social manner.

Police have launched this appeal within the framework of Operation Driftcloud, which focuses on tackling anti-social off-road bike activities.

Bilston Neighbourhood Team continues patrols based on public reports about such behaviours.

Officers encourage anyone with information about the riders to call 101 or use the Live Chat service on the West Midlands Police website.

Use reference Op Driftcloud when submitting information.

This initiative is part of a wider effort to combat illegal off-road biking and improve community safety in Bilston.
