(Providence, RI)--The city of Providence is pursuing all options available to get illegal dirt bikes and ATVs off the streets.A press conference was held by city officials on Thursday, two days after Cranston police arrested two riders who were allegedly part of a larger group that rode from Cranston to Providence.Mayor Jorge Elorza yesterday announced a hotline number to report illegal vehicles: 401-680-8-ATV.Elorza said you can make the call even if you don't see the vehicles actively being ridden.One thing the city will continue to do is seize and destroy the ones they catch illegally riding on city streets, after an ordinance granting the power was passed by the Providence City Council in 2017.
