BEAT bobbies will be on the right track after being given a new mountain bike to help on patrol.
Billingham Golf Club has donated £300 towards the cost of buying the bike which will used in the Wolviston area near the club.
Inspector Stuart Micklewright, of Billingham Neighbourhood Policing Team, said: "The donation from the club is very much appreciated and the cycle patrols of Wolviston Court and the surrounding areas will help to tackle anti-social behaviour and improve the area for residents and the club."
Club Captain Les Crank said: "The club has always been interested in developing local youngsters and would like to see them join the golf club as juniors and enjoy the facilities rather than causing damage.
"Hopefully, by donating this bike to our Neighbourhood Policing Team we can work together to combat anti-social behaviour and criminal damage in the area."
