Adobe StockA man has been arrested following an incident involving an unregistered e-bike in West Lothian.
Police attended an incident at West Lothian Civic Centre and arrested a man before seizing an e-bike.
Police said the bike had been ridden on public paths near the civic centre where pedestrians were present.
According to officers, the same e-bike had previously been the subject of complaints regarding alleged anti-social behaviour at Livingston bus terminal.
The bike was later seized and destroyed.
A force spokesperson said: “This is a part of an ongoing approach to tackling anti-social behaviour in our communities, by enforcement and causing disruption to these individuals putting public safety at risk.
“The message is clear, anti-social behaviour will not be ignored. Everyone has a right to feel safe in their local community and public spaces.
“We welcome positive action to address these issues and encourage the public to continue reporting anti social behaviour to Police Scotland so concerns can be acted upon. Working together to make West Lothian a safer place for everyone.”
