A stretch of Third Avenue in East Harlem is a well-known route for illegal dirt bike riders doing their stunts as they head uptown. As the NYPD continues its crackdown, residents tell us they wish the police would do more.

In recent months, police have confiscated and destroyed huge numbers of illegal dirt bikes, issued hundreds of summonses, and arrested 30 people, NYPD Commissioner Dermot Shea told NY1.

But there are still plenty more on the streets. Residents near East 116th Street say this problem is out of control.

"It's dangerous. You have to be careful where you walk," one woman told us. "I tried to be safe, just have to be careful."

"They just ride and do tricks," another woman said. "I think it's entertaining but I don't think it's safe."
