Plympton Community Police

Dear Community

We have seen a number of e-bikes riding dangerously in the area of Plympton.  The riders are often all dressed in black wearing balaclavas covering their faces and making them difficult to see in the evening as it gets darker. They often do not have any lights on their bikes which travel at speed. Last night we had two sightings of the same vehicle the last one he was travelling past the Lord Louis Pub. The male appeared quite tall and was dressed all in black and wearing a black baseball cap. This information is also for the riders as you are putting yourself at risk as well as other road users.

We aim to increase patrols when possible.

Please report any incidents using 101 or via the website if an ongoing issue, or via the emergency telephone 999 if the offence is occurring in front of you. 

Try to make a note of as much information as you can, including registration number, time, place, description of driver, as well as any phone or dashcam footage you might have. 

Personal safety will always be paramount, and please report it to us rather than challenging individuals yourself.

Thank you.
