Officers from Nottinghamshire Police’s Mansfield South neighbourhood and Mansfield Operation Reacher teams united for Operation Nebraska, at The Desert in Mansfield.
The site, a sandy patch of land near the Oak Tree estate, has a public spaces protection order in place, banning the use of off-road vehicles and motorcycles, following a decision by Mansfield Council in September.

“As a result of the day, two Section 59 notices were issued which provides officers with the power to seize the vehicle should it be seen illegally off-roading in the future.
“Additionally, three vehicles were seized for various documentation offences.”
