E-bikes and e-scooters seized in Bridlington police operation
Officers from Bridlington Neighbourhood Policing Team (NPT) have joined a crackdown on illegal e-bikes and e-scooters as part of a National Day of Action.
The team worked alongside the area’s rural task force (RTF) drone pilots and the Special Constabulary to address ongoing concerns surrounding the illegal use of e-scooters and e-bikes.
A police spokesperson said: “Over recent months, officers have been engaging with members of the public, providing advice and education regarding the lawful use of these vehicles.
“As part of the operation, the team seized nine e-scooters and two e-bikes, while also issuing warnings and guidance to a number of first-time offenders.
“If you are considering using an e-scooter or e-bike, please ensure you understand the relevant legislation and regulations before riding on public roads, pavements, or other public highways. Further information is available online.”
