Police seized 27 illegal e-bikes, e-scooters and off-road bikes in Preston city centre during a targeted operation to tackle anti-social behaviour. The vehicles will be destroyed as part of Operation Centurion, a county-wide initiative in Lancashire.

Lancashire's Police and Crime Commissioner has renewed calls for police forces to stop reselling seized e-bikes and e-scooters, warning that the vehicles could end up back in the hands of criminals. More than 1000 e-bikes were seized across Lancashire last year.
