WA Police use aircraft to track e-bike riders in Stirling

A group of at least six individuals on e-bikes and scooters engaged in dangerous riding behavior in Stirling on Friday afternoon. The group reportedly wove between vehicles, ran red traffic lights, and rode through pedestrian areas in the Stirling Civic Gardens.

Western Australia Police utilized a Police Air Wing aircraft to track one rider through several suburbs toward Herdsman Lake. This aerial surveillance allowed ground units to intercept and take the individual into custody. The rider, believed to be a juvenile, has been charged with reckless driving and driving without authority, and an e-bike was seized. Police are continuing efforts to locate the remaining riders involved.
