"Police community support officers have identified those responsible and are dealing with the matter.
"Advice has also been provided on road safety, responsible cycling, and the risks posed to themselves and other road users.
"By working together, we can help keep our neighbourhoods safe and enjoyable for everyone".
Gwent Police emphasised that by working together in the community, they can make sure that neighbourhoods are safe and enjoyable for everyone.
Riding bikes dangerously on public roads can put both riders and other road users at risk of serious injury.
Common examples of riding bikes in an anti-social or dangerous manner include weaving through traffic, riding without due care and attention, ignoring traffic signals, carrying passengers on bikes not designed for it, or performing stunts in busy areas.
Gwent Police advises young cyclists to follow the Highway Code and ride responsibly at all times.
Cyclists should make sure their bikes are roadworthy, with working brakes and lights where required, and should avoid careless or dangerous cycling at all costs.
The force also encourages riders to stay alert, be aware of other road users and ensure they can be seen, particularly in poor weather or low light conditions, as autumn and winter approaches.
Teenagers are reminded that roads are shared spaces and that irresponsible behaviour can have serious consequences.
By cycling safely, wearing appropriate safety equipment, and showing consideration for others, young people can help reduce the risk of crashes and keep themselves and their communities safe.
