Police in Telford are wanting to speak to a motorcyclist after a report that an off-road bike was "speeding around" the pedestrianised area of Hadley centre.

The incident happened at around 1.26pm on Saturday, November 9.

PC Hughes said: "We have had a report of an off-road motorcycle being ridden on the pedestrian area in Hadley Centre.

"The motorcycle was speeding around Hadley Centre and came across the fly-over bridge, it then left up Manor Road towards the Hadley Learning Community. The centre was busy with pedestrians us and he narrowly missed a twin buggy with newborn babies in it.

"I know some people think that riding an off-road motorcycle is just kids having fun, however someone will get hurt and the injuries can be life-changing. There are places to ride and clubs that support off-road motorcycling." 

PC Hughes has shared an image of a motorcyclist in the hopes the public can help identify them.
