Juvenile arrested after e-bike group causes chaos in Stirling

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 10 Oct, 06:24 · Archive

A group of at least six riders on e-bikes and scooters caused disruption in Stirling on Friday afternoon, riding both on roads and through the Stirling Civic Gardens near Cedric Street. The group weaved in front of and between vehicles, causing cars to brake suddenly, and travelled through red traffic lights. One rider rode along a bush track, forcing pedestrians to stand aside.

Police descended on the area after multiple calls were made about the behaviour around 1.20pm. Officers in a police helicopter filmed one rider pulling out a phone and using it while riding. The aircraft tracked that rider through several suburbs towards Herdsman Lake, directing ground units to the location.

The rider, believed to be a juvenile, has been summonsed to appear before court at a later date charged with reckless driving and having no authority to drive. An e-bike was seized. Police are continuing to seek the other riders involved in the incident.
