Biker gangs, including The Drifters, Broken Bones, Pyeratz and Nuntaii Mortis, have stepped in to deter looters in the Calderdale region of Yorkshire.
Police said it was 'impossible to comprehend' why the heartless opportunists would want to bring further suffering to those already hit by the crisis and stepped up patrols amid fears looters in white vans were targeting flooded houses.
However, several motorbike clubs also said they wanted to step in and help and - with the blessing of police - have been keeping watch in the area. 
Night-time patrols of Hebden Bridge and Mytholmroyd will now be carried out by bikers from Bradford and beyond over the next few days.
Dave Cariss, of The Drifters MCC, said: 'We saw people post on Facebook that they were trying to deter looters, and I thought who better to do that but 20-30 burly bikers.'
