Rally causes fresh chaos on the Collector Road


POLICE have said they will be reviewing video footage to try and identify those who took part in the latest mass bike rally along the Collector Road.
As many as 100 riders swarmed down the one side of the dual carriageway on Sunday afternoon (February 26), with clips posted on social media showing the group performing wheelies and doughnuts in the road.
Police had attended the scene at around 3pm and it is understood that one female officer received minor injuries in the pandemonium.
The A452 has become a popular route for the bike gangs, much to the frustration of local residents - who regularly complain about the noise.
Last month, Insp Allan Green, from Solihull Police, told a meeting in Castle Bromwich that incidents involving bikers had increased around the country.
Part of the problem is that police policy prevents forces from pursuing the riders, although efforts have been made to seize vehicles.
In recent months there have been a number of co-ordinated raids, with Insp Green warning that those who flout the law can expect a knock on the door early in the morning
Following the latest "ride out", a 23-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of dangerous driving and causing public nuisance. He has been bailed pending further enquiries.
