Police Scotland seizing twice as many e-scooters to reduce death and injuries due to English County lines drug gangs

Apologies for flippancy but AI would not do this in a realist manner for fear of offending English drug gang members!

From Police Scotland – FPN/TORs & Seizure stats – E Scooters -2023-25– published today, the above data.

This suggests determined efforts by Police Scotland to stem the increase in illegal use of imported e-scooters and to reinforce the effects of the Scottish Government’s track record in limiting their presence on the streets.

What’s my evidence that these e-scooters are largely being used by English drug gangs? We know from England that this is the basis for e-scooter and e-bike injury spikes there and we know that these same gangs are in control of almost all of the street-level drug trade in Scotland, inhibiting the fall in drug deaths. Meanwhile, the media operating in Scotland are only interested in those big Scottish gangs, the Daniels and the Lyons, important in the global movement and supply of drugs to street level operators like these English gangs.

One thought on “Police Scotland seizing twice as many e-scooters to reduce death and injuries due to English County lines drug gangs

  1. In Edinburgh there are masked men on racing motorbikes or whatever they are called…literally riding on main roads in between buses, cars, lorries etc…at very high speed. You hear them, it’s daily.
    Where are the cops to stop them? No idea.
