2 Aug
Summary
- Over 20 scramblers, e-bikes, and e-scooters were seized across two days.
- The operation targeted illegal vehicle use in public spaces.
- Uninsured and illegal vehicles face disposal within 14 days.
An intensive two-day operation in Lurgan and Craigavon has resulted in the seizure of 23 illegal vehicles. Police targeted scramblers, e-bikes, and e-scooters that are frequently used inappropriately in public spaces.
Officers utilized both uniform and plain clothes, supported by drone surveillance from the Air Support Unit. Sgt Adam Patterson highlighted the scale of the problem, emphasizing that these uninsured vehicles are not road legal.
These seized machines pose a serious safety risk, and their inappropriate use has already led to severe injuries. Unless owners request a review by the magistrates court within 14 days, at their own expense, the vehicles will be disposed of by police.
