SWANSEA: Sixteen bikes seized as police operation targets illegal off-road riders with aircraft support
Sixteen motorbikes and off-road bikes have been seized across Swansea as part of a major policing operation targeting illegal and antisocial riding, with officers using a fixed-wing aircraft to track offenders from the air before swooping to arrest them on the ground.
Operation Akalat, run by South Wales Police, targets the illegal and antisocial use of off-road bikes, stolen vehicles and drug dealing – issues which officers say have a significant impact on communities across Swansea and are consistently raised by residents as affecting their quality of life, public safety and confidence in policing.
The latest operation, which took place on Friday 24 April, saw officers deploy the NPAS fixed-wing aircraft to spot and follow illegal riders across the city. Numerous off-road and illegally ridden bikes were tracked from the air until they could be safely apprehended on the ground.
The results were significant. Sixteen motorcycles, Sur-Rons and off-road bikes were seized – eight in Penlan, three in the city centre, three in Townhill and two in Morriston. Several of the bikes were confirmed as stolen. Officers also created 14 Postal Charge Requisitions for offences including dangerous driving, possession of drugs and no insurance, and carried out eight stop searches.
PC Connor Sumner-Jones, of the Swansea and Neath Port Talbot Intelligence Unit, said the operation had been a significant success. “This police activity has helped to make a big dent in issues which have been plaguing the respective communities in Swansea, as well as restoring faith and public confidence to 999 and 101 callers, who have now seen us act upon their information and achieve results,” he said.
Inspector Andrew Hedley added that the operation demonstrated a sophisticated approach to problem-solving in the run-up to summer. “This was an example of really great work and an absolutely fantastic approach to problem-solving which will send a robust message to those acting illegally or anti-socially with bikes and motorbikes in the lead-up to the summer,” he said.
He added: “The level of disruption seen under this operation will make a real difference in the communities affected and helps reduce demand more widely. A lot of time and policing hours went into planning and executing this operation, which tackles issues which are very important to the local community.”
Insp Hedley said Op Akalat would continue running frequently over the coming months alongside Operation Lathyrus, sending a clear message that the force was listening to community concerns. “Operations of this nature will continue frequently in the coming months,” he said.
The operation is the latest in a series of targeted policing actions across Swansea aimed at tackling antisocial behaviour that has become a persistent concern in residential areas including Penlan, Townhill and Morriston. Residents in those communities have repeatedly raised concerns about illegal riders causing danger and disturbance on streets and open spaces.
South Wales Police said the use of the NPAS aircraft had proved particularly effective in allowing officers to safely monitor and pursue riders who would otherwise evade ground-based patrols. The aircraft tracked multiple bikes simultaneously before coordinating with officers on the ground to intercept them.
A video of the operation, showing aerial footage of riders being followed and stopped, was shared by South Wales Police on social media and attracted widespread attention from local residents welcoming the crackdown.

Anyone with information about illegal or antisocial use of bikes in their area is encouraged to contact South Wales Police by calling 101, or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111. In an emergency, always call 999.
