Six Men Sentenced Over Leeds 'Ride Out' Rampage

Six men who took part in two illegal motorbike ‘ride outs’ across Leeds and Wakefield and showed off their dangerous exploits online have been sentenced at court. The men were brought to justice after officers from the Leeds South Neighbourhood Policing Team painstakingly pored over the internet footage to build up a clear evidential picture of those involved. The two incidents, which involved 11 riders on motorbikes and quad bikes, took place on Saturday, March 24, and Sunday, March 25, 2018. Footage from both incidents filmed on a helmet-mounted camera was posted to YouTube under the username Timmy Mallet, who was subsequently identified as Terrence Barker from Middleton. Officers spent hours reviewing the material to pinpoint distinctive items of clothing and vehicles characteristics and combined this with their local knowledge of those known to be involved in the anti-social use of motorbikes.
