Honolulu police are stepping up enforcement against illegal electric dirt bikes, which is bad news for unlicensed riders but welcome to residents fed up with the noise and danger.

• Two minors were arrested and three illegal dirt bikes seized in a joint operation in Kapolei.
• Officers handed out nine citations during the same sweep.
• Neither of the minors arrested had a license to ride.
• Police used the operation to remind riders that these bikes are not street legal.

Outlook: Expect more sweeps like this one as police keep targeting illegal dirt bike riding on Oahu.
