Twenty-Three Scramblers and E-Bikes Seized in Two-Day Lurgan and Craigavon Police Blitz
Police said the two-day crackdown followed community concerns and led to arrests, drug recovery and the seizure of vehicles not road legal.
- The PSNI in Lurgan conducted a 'Two Wheel Vehicle Operation' on Friday, July 31 and Saturday, August 1, seizing 23 vehicles and making three arrests during the two-day enforcement action.
- Police launched the crackdown in response to ongoing community concern regarding what officers call the 'illegal and anti-social' use of two-wheeled vehicles, which pose safety risks to both riders and pedestrians.
- Officers arrested a 17-year-old riding a stolen e-bike on the wrong side of the road, and a 25-year-old was detained following seizure of an electric motorcycle and over half a kilogram of cannabis.
- Sergeant Adam Patterson stated that 23 nuisance vehicles are now off the road and will be disposed of within 14 days unless owners request a magistrates' court review at their expense.
- Upper Bann Sinn Féin MLA John O'Dowd welcomed the operation as a positive response to community concerns, while police note 'educational justice outcomes' will be sought for youth offenders where appropriate.
