Columbus police have received multiple reports of 4-wheelers and dirt bikes on Columbus roads, according to a Facebook post from the department.

Police said this is “both dangerous and illegal.”

Operating ATVs and off road vehicles is not permitted under Georgia law, according to the police.

Police included a video in their post of individuals driving multiple ATVs and dirt bikes on a road.

Police said individuals will be eligible for a reward if they can identify the people in the video, and if the information helps lead to an arrest.

Anyone with information on this incident can contact 706-641-5993 and can remain anonymous.
