Nottingham police seized 10 e-scooters and bikes and seized motors or batteries from 3 others during a crackdown on illegal vehicles in the city center. Officers targeted Trinity Square and Lace Market areas, speaking to 13 riders about the law. One delivery driver was found with an illegally modified e-bicycle. The operation comes in response to public concern about the safety risks posed by these vehicles.
E-scooters and bikes have been seized in Nottingham as police held a clampdown on illegal vehicles. Officers targeted the Trinity Square and Lace Market areas of Nottingham City Centre, both key areas of concern for locals.
One delivery driver in Trinity Square, for example, was found to be in possession of an illegally altered and potentially dangerous electric bicycle. After consultation with officers, the rear wheel – which contains the electric motor – was seized. Nottinghamshire Police has seized over 250 e-scooters in the past three years and – in response to public concern – is further clamping down on the problem.
"That is clearly not acceptable and not something we as the police can ignore. Another thing we and our colleagues at the fire and rescue service cannot ignore is the potential danger posed by illegally modified devices when they are stored or charged inside – something I would urge parents to consider when they consider gifts for their children.
