2 Illegal ATV Riders Wanted In Bensalem Township

BENSALEM TOWNSHIP, PA —Bensalem Police are seeking the identities of two illegal ATV riders who headed down Grove Avenue last weekend as residents watched.

As the Bensalem Township Police Department continues its "zero tolerance" crackdown on illegal ATV riders, two more were spotted Saturday laughing and driving right past residents in the street who took pictures. See the video below.

Police said the illegal quads are not allowed on Grove Avenue as they are unregistered and uninsured and are in violation of signs posted in the area.

Police are seeking the public's help in identifying the riders so "we can keep them from menacing this neighborhood in the future.

On June 1, the police department instituted a "zero tolerance" crackdown on illegal motorcycles and ATVs. Police said it was going after motorcycles and ATVs that illegally ride on private property and roadways throughout the township.

So far this year as of mid-August,police have received 73 ATV complaints. That's almost topped the 75 complaints in 2022, Sgt. Glenn Vandegrift said.

“Bensalem Police are committed to keeping our residents safe from the motorcycle and ATV riders that ride on the roadways of Bensalem Township illegally," Vandegrift said. "Along with our directed patrols, we will continue to follow up on any complaints that we receive from residents of this type of illegal activity."

Bensalem Police have set up a public portal where residents can upload photographs and videos of policy violators. Click here for the link.
