The police campaign aimed to discourage the buying of e-scooters for children at Christmas.
No parents were prosecuted during a police campaign aiming to discourage the buying of e-scooters for children at Christmas, a Freedom of Information request has revealed.The number of e-scooters seized during the crackdown was also lower on average than the following summer.
"We are going to be prosecuting the parents for no insurance - for use, cause, permit - in January and we will be seizing a lot of these scooters very, very shortly."In comparison, between 1 June and 8 September officers seized 118 e-scooters and e-bikes, the equivalent of more than 30 seizures a month.
The penalty is the same as for driving without insurance - £300 and six points on a driving licence, or an unlimited fine and disqualification if the case goes to court.In a new statement he told the BBC he had been liaising with the chief constable over the issue of illegal e-scooters.
