Police said a young man was seenin Casterton Avenue riding his E-motorbike. MORE FROM THE LT: A police spokesperson said: "He conveniently came to stop and was unaware of the lurking police vehicle, giving an officer the opportunity to pounce and grab him from the bike. "Needless to say, the bike has subsequently been seized and the rider reported for driving without insurance. "These bikes can be a blight on communities, causing problems ranging from anti-social behaviour due to the manner of driving, to being used to facilitate the dealing of drugs. "Bikes like these need to be registered, taxed and insured in order to be road legal; this clearly was not."
