Gardaí in Dublin detained minibikes from a father and daughter on Saturday, 12 July after they discovered neither of the drivers had insurance for the vehicles.
In a post on An Garda Síochána's X page, gardaí said they were on patrol in Sandyford when they spotted the man riding the minibike that was "unregistered for road use."
Yesterday while on patrol in Sandyford, we spotted a man riding a minibike that was unregistered for road use.

The post read: "As we were speaking to him, the man's daughter came down the road on a minibike of her own. Our records proved that the daughter was just 17 years old and that she did not possess a driver's licence."
The girl's minibike was also not road-worthy and she also had no insurance.
Gardaí detained both of the minibikes and court proceedings are to follow.
