SYRACUSE, NY — The Syracuse Police Department’s ATV Detail successfully removed three illegally operated ATVs from public spaces on Thursday, underscoring their ongoing efforts to address this issue within the city. The operation led to three arrests, including one individual charged with the possession of a stolen Honda dirt bike from Fulton County.

The police department is maintaining a zero-tolerance policy towards the illegal operation of ATVs in city parks and on public roadways. Offenders caught in such acts will face arrest and a local law violation charge, which includes a $500 fine for first-time offenders and additional significant redemption fees.

The Syracuse Police expressed gratitude towards the Onondaga County Sheriff’s Office for their collaboration and the support provided by their Air One unit during the operation. The initiative is part of a broader effort to enhance safety and enforce local laws strictly concerning ATV use in Syracuse.
