"Electric Bike seized

Last week Officers were patrolling along Broadway, Dunscroft when this stylish electric bike got their attention. The rider and his passenger for some reason didn't want to stop and chat with the Officers. The rider quickly attempted his escape down a back alleyway……………. that led to a dead end…….. Not the best choice!!
