The Metropolitan Police have arrested 187 individuals and seized 157 vehicles following a six-month operation targeting criminals using e-bikes and mopeds for theft and robbery. By deploying officers on similar high-powered bikes to patrol tourist and transport hubs, the force recorded a 22% drop in e-bike-related crime in key areas. This initiative is part of a broader effort that has contributed to a 14% reduction in neighbourhood crime across the capital over the past year.
