An illegally modified e-bike was seized from a delivery rider in a town centre. 

The vehicle was modified to be capable of speeds of up to 30mph and the delivery rider was driving it in a pedestrianised area of King's Lynn.

West Norfolk Police say they have been working with takeaways and restaurants in the town to educate them and their riders about what is legal and acceptable in the town centre.

Officers who see anyone biking - on any type of bicycle - in the pedestrian area will ask the riders to dismount and if they are being driven in an anti-social way they will consider the option of seizing the bike.

A spokesman for West Norfolk Police said: "It’s always helpful for people to report incidents to us when they happen as it can help us build up a picture of exactly when and where the issues are happening.

"We can then target our patrols to make the most difference.

"You can report this quickly and easily to us on our website as anti-social behaviour."

The bike was seized on Monday.
