A spokesperson for Hampshire Constabulary said: "It is very loud and doesn’t have a number plate, which of course makes it illegal.

"It is also causing considerable damage to the Forest Floor, which I am sure you know is a Site of Special Scientific Interest and as such is legally protected under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981.  

Anyone with information is asked to send details to richard.williams@hampshire.police.uk.
