Lancashire's police commissioner has called for forces to stop reselling seized e-bikes and e-scooters.

Lancashire's Police and Crime Commissioner Clive Grunshaw has called for police forces across England to adopt Lancashire's ban on reselling seized e-bikes and e-scooters. He said the vehicles should be kept away from criminals amid rising safety concerns about serious injuries and fatalities.

Seizures of e-bikes and e-scooters increased by 83 per cent in a single year. Grunshaw, who is from Fleetwood, has also welcomed Government plans to regulate e-scooters, an issue he has campaigned on for nearly two years.
