Spray the e-scooter louts says local MSP

Spraying offenders who misuse motorised bikes with a special liquid could be the answer to a growing issue in Stirling and across the Forth Valley says a local politician.

Police need to use SelectaDNA tagging spray in the battle to clamp down on illegal use of off-road bikes, e-bikes, motorcycles and e-scooters says Conservative Mid Scotland and Fife MSP Alexander Stewart.

Mr Stewart, who lives in Bridge of Allan, is “imploring” Forth Valley Police to use the sprays amid reports circulating that a number of Police Scotland divisions are successfully using them in the fight against antisocial behaviour.

The handheld sprays are designed to be used by officers to target offenders involved in the antisocial and illegal use of motorcycles, and bicycles, including electric bikes.
