Armthorpe - Electric Bike seized

Armthorpe - Electric Bike seized

During our Dark Nights period, Doncaster East Neighbourhood Officers have been patrolling the area looking out for Antisocial behaviour.

Officers visited Yorkshire way which is a known location for antisocial vehicle use. As Officers came to the end of the road they found a group of Motor bikers sat enjoying their evening. 

Unsure if these were legal or illegal Motorbikes, officers stopped the Police vehicle and approached the riders.

Whether the bikes were legal or not was quite quickly established, as one rider jumped off his bike and headed for the fields! 

 The other riders remained seated on their perfectly legal petrol motorbikes. a quick inspection of the abandoned bike, and we found it was an electric powered bike, not road registered and illegal to use on a road.

The bike was seized and now sits in a Police compound.

Antisocial vehicle use will not be tolerated in Armthorpe or any other district of Doncaster.

Police have the power to seize a vehicle used in an antisocial manner, so please respect the community you either live in or are visiting.
