Police investigate damage by motorcyclists riding in nature reserve

Police are investigating multiple reports of criminal damage by motorcyclists riding through a nature reserve on the Lincolnshire coast.

Motorbikes have been riding through the the Saltfleetby Theddlethorpe National Nature Reserve, which is prohibited, and causing damage to wildlife, say Lincolnshire Police.

Mablethorpe Neighbourhood Policing Team are looking to identify the people or the owner of the bike pictured.

A police spokesperson said: “This area forms part of the Lincolnshire Coronation Coast National Nature Reserve (LCCNNR) and covers 33 square kilometres along almost 30 kilometres of the Greater Lincolnshire coast, containing a rich variety of sand dunes, salt marshes, mudflats and freshwater marshes which are of international importance, supporting many breeding and over-wintering birds, natterjack toads, special plants and insects.”
