A quad bike has been seized after its rider caused continuous nuisance in Ngāruawāhia, police say.
In a statement, Sergeant Hayden Martin said a search warrant was executed on Friday and the bike taken.
Its rider had been doing burnouts in public areas and driving the bike dangerously, Martin said.
"Police and the wider community have zero tolerance for this dangerous driving that puts other motorists and members of the public at risk.
"Today's seizure was due to consistent reporting from the public."
Martin said the community had "had enough" and police had put the "last pieces of the puzzle" together by using information given to them by members of the community.
"We hope this reassures residents that police will continue to target dangerous and nuisance driving, and any offending will be investigated and follow-up action will be taken."
The public was reminded that if anyone saw dangerous or nuisance driving, they should call 111.
