POLICE will be seizing every e-scooter they see in Worcester.
It comes after police revealed there is no legal way to drive e-scooters in the city.
The only legal way to ride an electric scooter on public roads and areas is to use the specific Government trial E-Scooters, which are only available in certain parts of the country.
PCSO Kyle Westwood said: "Due to the nuisance being caused by certain individuals, the police are now taking robust action and will be seizing all E-Scooters which we come across under Section 165a Road Traffic Act 1988.
"This is because, at this time, E-Scooters are classified as motor vehicles, meaning to legally ride one, its riders must obtain the correct insurance, which is currently not possible.
"If you have any information, such as hotspots, in the area where these Scooters are being ridden, please notify us via 101."
