Illegal trail bike activity will be the focus of a police operation launching today on the South Coast.
Operation Chance was established by officers from South Coast Police District to investigate and target dangerous rider behaviour in the Bay and Basin area.
Additional police will be tasked to the Bay and Basin area from within South Coast Police District to support the operation.
