Three Youths Arrested, E-Bikes and Scooters Seized in Courtenay Incidents
Police say several youths were identified, tickets were issued and electric bikes and scooters were seized after reports of dangerous stunts and alleged criminal behavior.
- On Sept. 25, Comox Valley RCMP arrested three youths following reports of dangerous stunts involving high-powered electric dirt bikes and scooters near Highway 19A and Dingwall Road in Courtenay.
- Officers avoided dangerous pursuits when riders fled, instead relying on patience, coordination, and follow-up investigation to identify and safely arrest the suspects without public safety risks.
- The situation escalated when riders allegedly tried to break into parked police vehicles; one report indicated a rider threw an object at a passing vehicle, causing damage.
- Police issued multiple violation tickets and seized the electric dirt bike and scooter, releasing the two arrested youths who are scheduled to appear in court at a later date.
- Investigators are checking for connections to other recent Comox Valley incidents, while provincial regulations require riders to be at least 16 years old to operate standard e-bikes or scooters.
