Others are captured revving their bikes and speeding down the road. At least one bike is caught speeding down the footpath.

The footage was caught on a dash cam on a vehicle parked on the side of the road.

Webb said CCTV footage, members from the public and "other means" were enabling police to identify more the riders involved - and their dangerous behaviour.

"Police want to reassure the community that we do not tolerate dangerous or reckless driving behaviour that puts the safety or road users at risk."
