Kent Police Officers from the Community Safety Unit carried out proactive patrols in Minster-on-Sea on Friday 29 May 2026, during which three illegal e-scooters were stopped and seized as part of continued efforts to keep communities safe.
As part of ongoing action to tackle antisocial behaviour in Swale a number of nuisance vehicles have been seized including a separate incident in which a car was also seized on Aspen Drive after it was found to be driven without insurance. It forms part of a wider operation targeting nuisance riders and the risks they can pose to the public.
PC Sophie Marshall said:
‘During these operations we are not only seizing illegal e-scooters but also educating riders about the law surrounding them.
‘Using e-scooters on the streets of Swale is illegal and creates hazards for other road users. We will continue to carry out proactive operations to ensure the message is clear that anyone found riding an e-scooter will have action taken against them.’
