With warm weather ahead, police in Rochester are cracking down on illegal all-terrain vehicle and dirt bike usage.

The City of Rochester said for every 50 illegal ATVs or dirt bikes seized, they will be crushed for scrap metal.

“The former owners of these vehicles invested a lot of money into a pastime that doesn’t work on our streets,” Mayor Malik Evans said in a statement. “Because they didn’t use them according to the law, they will be turned into scrap metal. The choice is simple: Street legal, or scrapyard ready.”

Officials have cited these vehicles as not only being illegal, but loud and disruptive to city residents' quality of life.

Rochester's Corporation Counsel Patrick Beath said the city is taking action in state Supreme Court against a Hudson Avenue business allegedly selling illegal dirt bikes and ATVs.

“They don't have the licenses to sell them in the first place," Beath said. "So the sale is illegal. "And once they sell them and they use on city streets, the use is illegal.. So two illegal acts that we're combating with that action, and we're going to continue to partner with the RPD to make sure this stops.”

So far this year, the city said 35 illegal ATVs and dirt bikes have already been seized.
