e-bike crime

How we are tackling e-bike crime in Vincent Square 

Over the last few months, we have been talking to Londoners at our community crime fighting events, to better understand exactly what issues you care about most, including here in our ward. 

Across London we heard of widespread concerns about dangerous riding, anti-social behaviour and thefts linked to e-bikes and e-scooters.  

At a local level we know this is of growing concern to residents with the data showing an increase in bike enabled phone snatching and anti-social cycling, particularly on and around Victoria Street.

So, we are stepping up our action. 

In the past year, London wide we have taken over 2,500 illegal and unsafe e-bikes and e-vehicles off London’s streets. Through precision-led policing driven by intelligence, data and technology, we are seizing thousands of dangerous rides where they’re being used unlawfully or anti-socially.  

Acting on concerns that matter most to Londoners is at the heart of our community crime-fighting – and so we need your input.

We would appreciate hearing from you to help us better understand both the concerns and benefits of e-bikes and e-scooters use in your area. This will help us understand what you would like us to prioritise and give us insight to take to partners and drive action.  

In the meantime, we want to take this opportunity to tell you what we are already doing to clamp down on the illegal and anti-social behavior concerns you raised about e-bikes / e-scooters.
