Illegal e-bikes and e-scooters seized during Chorley and South Ribble surge activity

Police have seized 16 illegal e-bikes and e-scooters in a crackdown on anti-social behaviour.

The day of action across Chorley, Leyland and Bamber Bridge was part of Operation Centurion, targeting nuisance vehicles.

The seized bikes, taken mainly for no licence or insurance, will be crushed. A 21-year-old man from Preston was arrested and later charged with driving offences and drug possession.

Officers say the public repeatedly raise nuisance vehicles as a top concern, and more operations are planned.
