The Police have found that several of the offenders caught using illegal motorised bicycles are juveniles. The Royal St. Christopher and Nevis Police Force issued a community notice on January 18, 2023, advising the public that it had observed a sudden increase in the number of bicycles that have been modified, fitted with engines and used on public roads.
On a recent edition of “Policing With You”, which airs live on ZIZ weekly, Divisional Commander for District ‘A’, Cromwell Henry, made a special appeal to parents.
“I just want to make this appeal to parents because a lot of the persons who are riding these bikes are young persons. The last few that we were able to seize, they were being driven by juveniles, 16- and 17-year-olds…and so what we want to do is make an appeal to parents to really discourage their children from engaging in this type of activity.
