Police conducted off-road patrols in the area.
Police from the Operation Reacher team in Mansfield said:
‘This evening ( 29 July ) the Mansfield Operation Reacher Team have been conducting mobile and off-road patrols around the Oak Tree estate following the recent issues of off-road bikes, arson and anti-social behaviour in the area.
‘Officers successfully stopped four vehicles intending to drive in the desert.
‘Words of advice were given to the drivers who accepted the explanation given and they were warned that if they were seen to enter the desert they would be issued with a Section 59 notice and risk their vehicles being seized.
‘Unfortunately there were still two off-road bikes in the desert and the details for these riders are yet unknown.
‘The Mansfield Reacher Team will continue to target those who put their own and other members of the public’s safety at risk. If you see any off road vehicles in the desert area of Mansfield please send us the details of the vehicles.’
