E-scooters and e-bikes seized by gardaí in Dublin

Gardaí have seized electric motorbikes, e-scooters and e-bikes, as part of an operation in Blanchardstown and Finglas in Dublin on Tuesday.

The operation was provided with aerial support by members and a drone from the newly established Garda Drone Unit.

As a result of the operation, one scrambler, two e-bikes and 11 e-scooters were seized by gardaí from individuals driving in contravention of regulations and/ or a dangerous manner on public roads and pedestrianised streets.

A man was arrested during the course of the operation and has since been charged and bailed to Court on a later date, along with a male juvenile who will be referred to the Garda National Youth Diversion Bureau.

Gardaí say investigations are ongoing.
