Brit busted for illegal Sierra bike tours

A BRITISH man has been arrested for illegally organizing motorbike tours into sierra.

The man was selling bike tours to British tourists over the internet without obtaining permission from park authorities or paying corporate tax.

He was caught red-handed leading 13 bikes into the Sierra Tejeda Nature Park near Nerja.

The police were alerted by frequent motorbike trips into the park.

The tours continued during the summer, when motor vehicles are banned from the reserve because of the risk of forest fires.
