E-scooters & ASB

E-scooters & ASB

Dear Resident,

Today your local officers have been tackling anti-social behaviour (ASB) in the areas that you have said there are ongoing issues, in this case the Rochester Multi-Story Car Park, CORYS ROAD, ROCHESTER.

Police observed a young person doing wheelies on an E-scooter, needless to say, officers caught up with this young person and seized the E-scooter under S165 of the Road Traffic Act for having no insurance. Officers then spoke to the persons parents and educated them around the laws and usage of E-scooters and informed them of the behaviour that young person had been displaying and as such that young person is no longer welcome to the area. 

We hope the information above is useful and addresses to some degree the concerns that you have raised.
