POLICE have urged parents and youngsters not to make an ‘expensive mistake’ after two more illegal e-scooters have been taken off of Bromsgrove’s streets.
Officers from Bromsgrove Safer Neighbourhood Team have seized two more illegally used e-scooters on Bromsgrove High Street.
They have now urged parents and guardians to ensure that children understand the legislation and not to ride privately owned e-scooters on public roads or pathways.
A spokesperson for Bromsgrove SNT: “Failure to comply may result in the vehicle being seized.
“When seized, these scooters are now destined for destruction and landfill, making them an expensive mistake for their owners.
“We’re continuing to see more and more illegal e-scooter use across the area and will continue to take action where offences are identified.
“Our priority is keeping pedestrians, cyclists, and all road users safe.
“Before spending hundreds of pounds on an e-scooter, please make sure you understand the law and where they can legally be ridden.”
