Police are stepping up enforcement under Operation Jetsom to remove illegal e-scooters and modified high powered e-bikes from our streets. From August, any rider caught will see their vehicle seized and destroyed.
Residents in Swindon regularly raise concerns about these vehicles being ridden at speed near schools, parks and shopping centres. The risks are real. The law is straightforward. Unless it is part of an official rental trial scheme, it is illegal to ride in public. No such schemes are in place locally.
We all want safer streets. If you see illegal use in your neighbourhood, please report it to your Neighbourhood Policing Team or via Crime Stoppers. Every report makes a difference.
👉 Help keep Swindon safe. Report it. Do not ignore it.
