On Monday, February 12, officers from the Shirebrook Safer Neighbourhood Team seized an e-scooter in the town.

An SNT spokesperson said: “We've seized this e-scooter tonight as the rider had no insurance, which is a legal requirement.

“The scooter was also seen riding dangerously in and out of traffic the wrong way on a one-way system at speed, riding in and out of the side of bungalows honking their horn and being a nuisance and danger to pedestrians and road users.

This scooter was seized by SNT officers.

“For those of you who think we like to take scooters off children, this scooter clocked a maximum speed of 72km/h which it was more than likely doing whilst riding dangerously the wrong way on the one-way system in moving traffic.”
