People on dirt bikes and ATVs were seen driving inside the World War II memorial on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., over the weekend.

Video posted on X showed at least three people driving around the outdoor memorial late Saturday night.

The United States Park Police is aware of the video, according to FOX 5 DC.

 

“This place holds the same reverence as Arlington National Cemetery. Allowing motorcycles to be ridden here shows a clear lack of respect,” Fields stated.

In D.C., laws forbid the operation of ATVs on public roads and within the National Mall zone. Nonetheless, the Metropolitan Police Department mentioned that officers would not chase after these vehicles due to the department’s pursuit policy.

Earlier this month in the nation’s capital, two Metro police officers were hit by an ATV rider in northeast D.C. That driver fled the scene.

Fox News Digital has reached out to the National Park Service for comment.
