Dangerous e-bike riding in Western Australia

Overview

In Stirling, Western Australia, a group of at least six individuals on e-bikes and scooters engaged in dangerous riding, including weaving between vehicles, running red lights, and riding 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 enabled ground units to intercept and take the individual, believed to be a juvenile, into custody. The rider 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.
