Packs of illegal riders who flout traffic laws while doing wheelies and other tricks on city streets are “an enormously challenging problem for us,” Baltimore police spokesman Anthony Guglielmi said.
Baltimore police last week seized 15 dirt bikes and ATVs from a self-storage facility, including six that had been stolen and three with obliterated serial numbers.
