CUMBRIA Police seized an electric bike being ridden illegally in Carlisle.
Officers seized the vehicle which had been modified to a dangerous level.
A spokesperson said: "Today officers from our Roads Policing Unit have seized this electric bike that was seen riding in an anti-social manner within the Carlisle area. PC 2467 has managed to stop the rider as it slowed down to a halt.
"The bike has been modified and was extremely unsafe to not only ride but keep at home due to the fire risk.
"Pro-active and joint work from our Policing units led to positive outcomes."
