Local Priorities E-Scooters/nuisance motorcycles Concern Update |
||
|
I wanted to provide you with an update regarding E-Scooters/nuisance motorcycles, which people around your area have highlighted as an issue of concern on the priority survey. On the afternoon of 25th September 2026, PC EYRE-JACKSON and PC BOWLER were on patrol in RIVER where they have stopped a rider on an e-scooter on LEWISHAM ROAD. The scooter was seized under the road traffic act due to it not being road legal. These scooters are only legal on private land and cannot be used on public highways. Advice and information can be found at Advice on e-scooter usage | Kent Police or What you need to know: electric bikes | Kent Police Tackling antisocial behaviour can be a complex issue, and one which requires input and action from more than just the police. February 2025 saw the publication of the Ministry of Justice Crime and Policing Bill: Antisocial behaviour (ASB) factsheet. This outlined a number of new measures including making powers to seize vehicles under section 59 of the Police Reform Act 2002 easier to use, allowing the police to react robustly and immediately to the anti-social use of motor vehicles. If you ever experience this issue or have information regarding an incident, please report it using our online reporting tools at https://www.kent.police.uk, speak to an operator in our Force Communications Room via our online web chat or call the non-emergency number 101. Alternatively, you can stay 100 per cent anonymous by contacting the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 or via their untraceable online form at crimestoppers-uk.org.
