PROBLEMS with youngsters and motorbikes have returned to haunt residents on an east Cleveland estate.

Councillor Eric Jackson, mayor of Loftus Town Council, said teenagers are riding the unlicensed trial bikes around the Mars Estate in Loftus and are causing a nuisance to drivers and residents.

He said: "It was a big problem last autumn and the police did get involved and it went very quiet for a while. But now, they have come back again and residents have raised the complaint again and I have passed their complaints back on to the police."

Sergeant Colin Askey, from Loftus Police, said: "We are aware of the complaints and will be taking measures to alleviate the problem.
