Riders make off through gardens in Seacroft as Leeds police seize electric motorbikes

Officers from the Leeds District Off Road Bike Team sighted an electric motorbike and an illegally adapted EAPC being ridden around the Seacroft area.

The bikes were followed to an address, however the riders became aware of police presence and abandoned both bikes before making off on foot through nearby gardens to evade capture.

“Both bikes were recovered abandoned and seized, meaning they will not be returning to the streets. Enquiries are ongoing.” a West Yorkshire Police spokesperson confirmed.
