LOWELL — On June 12, 2025, the Lowell Police Department, with assistance from the Massachusetts State Police, Massachusetts State Police Air Wing, and Massachusetts Environmental Police, conducted a coordinated operation targeting the unlawful and reckless operation of motorcycles, dirt bikes, off-highway vehicles (OHVs), and mopeds on public roadways.
This targeted enforcement effort comes in response to ongoing community concerns about reckless and illegal vehicle activity endangering pedestrians, motorists, and neighborhood safety throughout the City of Lowell.
The operation yielded significant results, including:
• 5 Arrests
• 9 Criminal Summonses
• 24 Traffic Citations
• 20 Vehicles Towed
“Reckless and illegal operation of these vehicles on public streets is not only disruptive — it’s a danger to everyone in our community,” said Lowell Police Superintendent Greg Hudon. “Let this operation be a clear message: this conduct will not be tolerated. We will continue the work we do daily, as well as these types of operations, to address this serious issue to ensure our roadways remain safe and orderly for all.”
The Lowell Police Department thanks its partners from the Massachusetts State Police, including the Air Wing, and the Massachusetts Environmental Police for their assistance and commitment to public safety.
Anyone with information about the unlawful operation of these vehicles in Lowell is encouraged to contact the Lowell Police Department or submit tips anonymously through bikertips@lowellma.gov.

How about electric skateboard they weave in and out of traffic causing cars to slam on their brakes
What about the kids on pedal bikes, stopping traffic, verbally harassing people and damaging cars (kicking, hitting, throwing objects)????????? How long before one of these punks gets killed and some poor innocent person gets blamed for the kids ignorance?!?!?
My question is….why did this take so long to happen? And why only 5 arrests? There were more than 5 bikers in this group. More like 15.
And on the issue of kids on bikes, what about kid’s bikes being abandoned on sidewalks and in parking lots? I have personally reported ½ dozen of these abandoned bikes worrying that a child has been hurt. No young boy would just leave their bike and walk away from it. What’s happening with that situation?
is lawrence & Methuen going go after those
people doing the same thing with with those
vehicales
Please go after the regular bikes in packs heading in the opposite direction of traffic. We can’t be responsible if they get hit.
Arrest all bikelife kids member to jail for LIFE!!!!
Once again, I came home tonight to my home on Merrimack Street in a building which I own and pay serious property taxes for being passed by a off-road dirtbike gang in World War II German helmet (obvious replicas)with masks on doing wheelies down Merrimack Street at 11 o’clock at night with no headlights on no license plates.Shouldn’t be surprised it’s become a regular occurrence whether it’s 11 o’clock at night or 5 o’clock in the afternoon during rush-hour I called the Lowell Police dispatcher and asking why these people haven’t been stopped from doing this in the response I got is because it’s not a serious danger to the public we do not engage and pursue them, but they pursue me as a law abiding citizen that help support the community if I park my vehicle on the street after 6 o’clock at night because it has commercial plates because it brings down the community it takes a valuable, resource parking, etc. etc. I may have to pay taxes here in Lowell and Massachusetts, but I’m so glad I’m no longer a Massachusetts resident so lucky to have become a FLORIDA resident. And soon I will sell off and say goodbye to the place I was born and raised in which I no longer recognize..
