Unregistered motorcycles were on the radar of local Police over the weekend.
On Saturday, Port Stephens-Hunter Police officers conducted Operation Token in conjunction with Port Stephens and Maitland Councils, as well as Hunter Water, targeting the illegal bike riders, as a result of feedback from the community.
The operation saw officers deployed to Rutherford, Telarah, Farley, Chisholm, Thornton, Tenambit, Raymond Terrace, Medowie, Tanilba Bay, Fern Bay and Tomago.
Eight riders – one of which is a repeat offender already on the Police radar – were issued traffic infringements, including for being unregistered/uninsured.
Police say they also recovered stolen motor vehicles.
