A MAN had traveled a long way home after being caught by the police with an illegal e-scooter.
Worcestershire Operational Policing Unit (OPU) officials confiscated the £ 1,800 worth of e-scooter after stopping it in Rednal.
The driver tried to drive off-road, but the police met him at the other end of the bridle path.
Using private e-scooters is illegal on public land – only the VOI scooters – tested as part of the government program in Birmingham, Redditch and other areas are allowed.
West Mercia and West Midlands Police have issued countless warnings to people not to buy e-scooters unless they intend to drive them on private property.
The driver caught in Rednal today has been reported for using a vehicle without insurance.
