An illegal e-bike has been seized by police amid links to anti-social behaviour in a Wiltshire town.
On May 28, an e-bike linked to anti-social behaviour in Warminster was seized by officers from Response Team 4 after locating the bike and rider on Boreham Road.
The bike was seized under Section 165A for having no insurance. The rider was also reported at the scene for a number of road-related offences.

PC Kent said: "We have been aware of this particular bike for several weeks and the nature of the riding style which has been causing issues around Warminster. To remove this e-bike is a positive step.
