Mandurah Police seized four illegal e-rideables and stopped 25 people during a school holidays operation targeting anti-social behaviour.

Mandurah Police have targeted illegal e-bikes and e-scooters during a school holidays crackdown, seizing four devices that will be destroyed. Three teenagers aged 14, 15 and 16 were charged after riding modified e-bikes recklessly on Old Coast Road in Halls Head on 7 October. The modifications made the bikes illegal. The teenagers have been charged with reckless driving, no authority to drive and using an unlicensed vehicle on the road, and will appear before Mandurah Children's Court on 9 November.

During the broader operation, police on the ground and drones stopped 25 people on e-rideables for traffic offences. The crackdown targeted anti-social behaviour in the Falcon and Halls Head areas.

In a separate incident, a group of at least six riders caused disruption in Perth's northern suburb of Stirling on Friday, riding off-road through Stirling Civic Gardens and also on roads where they weaved between vehicles and ran red lights. Police filmed one rider using their phone while riding. A police aircraft tracked one of the riders across several suburbs towards Herdsman Lake, directing ground officers to the location where they were arrested and charged via summons. Police said they maintain a zero-tolerance approach towards people using e-rideables for serious offences.
