Lowestoft Police continue crackdown on illegal e-scooter use

Saturday, 22 August 2026 06:20

Lowestoft Police are continuing to target illegal e-scooter use as part of Operation Wraxall.

Officers are reminding residents that privately owned e-scooters cannot legally be used on public roads, pavements or cycle paths, except within authorised trial areas with the landowner's consent.

Police say they will continue to proactively target antisocial and unlawful use of motorcycles, mopeds, e-scooters and e-bikes across Lowestoft.

The force is also thanking residents who have provided information about people involved in antisocial or illegal activity, saying reports are helping officers target those causing problems in local communities.

Concerns can be reported to police through 101, online or via the dedicated Operation Wraxall email address.

Police stress that the Operation Wraxall email should not be used for live incidents. Anyone facing an immediate danger to life or witnessing a crime in progress should call 999.
