A motorbike was seized by police after the rider failed to stop when asked to.

Officers in Lyme Regis attempted to stop the bike being ridden on Roman Road at around 7pm yesterday. But the driver continued and made offf along Windsor Terrace.

Officers at the Lyme Regis Safer Neighbourhood Team said the motorcycle was later found abandoned near Jericho. They seized the bike when it was discovered the rider had been given a Section 49 Warning Notice following  reports of a bike being ridden in an anti-social manner.

Officers said: "The located bike was therefore seized by police due to this being the second offence in a 12 month period."
