Warning illegal bikes will be 'seized and destroyed' after rider caught by police
AN illegal bike was seized for being ridden antisocially and having no insurance after being spotted by police. Whilst conducting proactive patrols of the Rhymney area, Gwent Police officers saw this illegal bike being ridden on the road and on the pavements, posing a risk to pedestrians and other road users. Unfortunately for the rider, they got stuck between some metal railings and did not see the approaching unmarked police vehicle. Officers were able to take hold of the bike and it was seized for having no insurance. Gwent Police said: "The message and law is simple - these bikes are not to be used on the road or pavements, regardless of what excuse you come up with at the road side. They are NOT road legal and if stopped by police, they will be seized and destroyed. "We get numerous reports regarding the negative impact these bikes have on our communities and we will continue to take a robust approach."

Uninsured, suspended G2 driver from Ottawa facing impaired driving charges
An Ottawa G2 driver being towed near Merivale Road on Wednesday, July 23, 2025. (OPP/X) An Ottawa man is facing a laundry list of charges for allegedly driving impaired on a suspended licence without insurance Wednesday afternoon. Ontario Provincial Police say officers were patrolling on Merivale Road near Baseline Road when they were alerted to a suspended driver by an Automated Licence Plate Reader (ALPR). While speaking to the G2 driver, police had reason to believe he was impaired by alcohol. A roadside screening device was used and the driver was taken back to the police detachment for a breath test. Officers also located open alcohol inside the vehicle, police say. G2 drivers in Ontario cannot have any measurable amount of alcohol in their system while operating a vehicle. A 29-year-old man from Ottawa faces seven charges, including two counts of operation while impaired, driving while under suspension, operating a motor vehicle without insurance, driving a motor vehicle with an open container of liquor, driving a motor vehicle without a permit and for having a blood alcohol content (BAC) above zero. The man had his licence automatically suspended for 90-days and had his vehicle impounded for seven days. He is scheduled to appear before the Ontario Court of Justice in Ottawa at a later date.
