(Providence, RI) -- The cities of Providence and Cranston are starting a joint task force to crack down on ATVs and dirt bikes being illegally ridden in the streets. Officials held a press conference to talk about it on Tuesday as the cities renew a hard-line stance against the activity in response to recent arrests made. Cranston Police Chief Michael Winquist said authorities cannot share all of the tactics that will be employed, but he said law enforcement will be creative. As far as what happens to the vehicles when they are seized, Cranston is now pursuing a partnership with police in the Dominican Republic to have them shipped to that country.
