Corpus Christi police impounded 9 pocket bikes, minibikes, and motorcycles during a traffic enforcement operation last week.
Officers with the Corpus Christi Police Department's Violent Crimes Unit observed several motorcycles, minibikes, and pocket bikes operating on a public roadway on May 22, 2026, at 8:40 p.m. Officers conducted a traffic stop on the group for violations of Texas Transportation Code 551.353, which governs the application of rules to pocket bikes and minimotorbikes, along with various other traffic violations.
