Providence Seizing Dirt Bikes, ATVs

(Providence, RI) -- Providence is cracking down on off-road vehicles illegally ridden in city streets. Police Chief Hugh Clements tells the Providence Business News about thirty ATVs and dirt bikes have been seized in the last two weeks as part of a confiscation policy that has been on the books since 2017. The Providence City Council held an emergency meeting earlier this month to discuss the problem after a woman was dragged out of a car and beaten by a group of riders. Clements says police are conducting sting operations and targeting riding "hot spots".
