A joint operation between the Neighbourhood Policing Team and the Roads Policing Team resulted in the seizure of ten illegally driven e-bikes, scooters, and motorcycles last Friday, March 28th, sending a strong message to those engaging in dangerous and antisocial behaviour.
The operation, which utilized air support, targeted individuals driving off-road and electric vehicles illegally and antisocially around the Blackburn area.
