Two boys aged 13 and 14 appeared in court after riding a dirt bike carelessly through a park.

The boys, who cannot be named for legal reasons, rode an off-road motorcycle in Lloyd Park on June 14.

At Croydon Magistrates' Court on Friday, September 11, both boys admitted riding a motor vehicle in public without due care and attention.

The relatives also admitted using a motor vehicle off-road without a licence or third-party insurance.

He denied the charges.

The boys will be sentenced later this week, while their older relative is expected to stand trial in May 2027.
