A WARNING has been issued to off-road motorists after tyre tracks were branded onto a picturesque hillside on the Conwy-Denbighshire border.

North Wales Police's Rural Crime Team said the incident took place on Moel Unben, to the west of Llanfair TH and Llansannan.

Photos of the damage were shared by officers on the unit's Twitter page on Sunday.

"More unnecessary damage caused by illegal off roading, this time on Moel Unben in Denbighshire," police tweeted.

"Some people just simply don't care as long as they pleasure themselves.

"If you decide to take your car or motorcycle off road on a protected area you risk losing your beloved vehicle."
