Episode Details

Met Police have seized over 2,500 illegal e-bikes and scooters in just seven months—already surpassing last year’s total—and are using cutting-edge tech like “rolling roads” to spot and stop modified vehicles on the spot. With over 4,750 total seizures since the crackdown began, officers are targeting dangerous riders and criminals using these bikes for theft and drug deals. Results are already paying off: phone theft in the West End is down nearly 50%, and overall London crime has dropped 14%—35,000 fewer offenses. The push continues, with plans to expand their own high-powered e-bike fleet to chase down offenders and keep the city safer for everyone.
