E-Scooter Crackdown Targets Crime | Belfast News

In a major crackdown in west Dublin, police seized 11 illegal e-scooters, one scrambler, and two e-bikes—targeting their use in criminal activity including drug trafficking, weapons, and intimidation. Backed by a garda drone, the operation led to one arrest and a diversion program for a minor, showing a multi-pronged approach. With new government rules set to ban under-18s from riding e-scooters next month, mandating helmets and bright gear, and potential licensing and a full ban later this year, authorities are clearly tightening the reins on these electric vehicles. More investigations are underway. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
