Nuisance motorcycles.

Issued 03 February 2026

Many people in Medway are worried about antisocial behaviour involving nuisance vehicles, especially e‑scooters and e‑bikes. To help tackle this, we carried out a dedicated three‑day operation. More than 30 vehicles were taken off the roads, and we quickly saw a reduction in calls from the public about these issues.

During the operation, some riders were found carrying catapults and ammunition. Others were wearing balaclavas and riding dangerously in busy areas used by pedestrians. These incidents were dealt with firmly, and we hope this will help reduce antisocial behaviour across Medway.

We will continue to maintain a strong police presence in the area and take firm action against anyone using a vehicle in an unsafe or illegal way.

Kent Police will keep working with local people and partner organisations to help keep Medway safe. Your information really helps us, please keep reporting any concerns so we can take the right action.

Fly tipping.

Issued 03 February 2026

We have been working closely with Medway Council, Housing Services and the Environmental Enforcement Team to deal with fly‑tipping in the area. We recently visited the affected locations together so we could see the problem clearly and decide what needs to happen next.

The rubbish will now be removed, and enquiries are under way to find out who is responsible for dumping it. We will continue to work with our partners to make sure anyone involved is held to account and to help stop this from happening again.
