Police Warn Further Arrests Will Be Made In E-Bike ASB

Police warning to dangerous e-bike offenders causing anti-social behaviour on Lancashires roads.

Lancashire Police said, “We know that a lot of you will have been frustrated by e-bikes being ridden anti-socially in the centre of Blackpool.

This evening we have witnessed young men on these bikes going through red lights, riding on the wrong side of the road and being generally abusive.

To counteract this, we deployed a number of officers in the area and also had the police helicopter overhead gathering vital intelligence.

As a result of deploying a stinger, we managed to arrest a 23-year-old man from Blackpool on suspicion of dangerous driver. He remains in custody at this time.

We will continue to proactively target individuals who put the lives of others at risk by behaving in such a dangerous and reckless way. We will review the evidence gathered today and look to make further arrests.
