WEEKLY ROUND UP!!!

✅ Good News from  St Michael's Team 2 ✅

During the last week your local neighbourhood officers have conducted a number of community engagements which included giving crime prevention advice and giving out a few basic preventative items.

We know that the misuse of e-bikes and e-scooters is growing concern for our communities. When these vehicles are unlawfully modified or used irresponsibly, they can pose a real risk to pedestrians, other road users, and the rider themselves. Our priority is keeping everyone safe. While legal and responsible use of e-bikes is perfectly acceptable, illegal adaptations and dangerous riding will not be tolerated. St Michael's Team 2 on a joint operation with Road Traffic and Coventry BID have seized five illegal E-Bikes in the city centre today as part of Neighbourhood Policing Week. One rider was also arrested for immigration offences.

It is currently illegal to ride a privately owned e-scooter on public roads, pavements or cycle lanes in the UK. Under UK law, they are classed as motor vehicles. This means they require both a driving licence and insurance. The operation focused on tackling the illegal use of electrically assisted pedal cycles (e-bikes) and e-scooters, particularly those being used without insurance, or in an anti-social manner.
