A seven-year-old boy’s Christmas motorbike was seized by police after he was seen riding it dangerously in Huyton, Knowsley
Huyton: So, here’s the scoop. Police in Merseyside had to step in when they spotted a seven-year-old boy riding a motorbike all over the place. Can you believe it? They got calls about a scrambler being driven dangerously, and when they arrived, they found this little guy on it.
The boy told the officers that he got the bike as a Christmas gift. I mean, what a present, right? But it’s a bit concerning to see a kid that young on a bike like that, especially on the roads.
Police are now sending a message to parents. They’re saying that letting kids ride scramblers or quad bikes in public could lead to serious trouble. Brian Loughran, a local inspector, expressed his worries about the situation. He mentioned that it’s illegal for scramblers to be on the road, and having a child ride one is just asking for trouble.
They’ve taken the bike away as part of their Operation Brookdale. The police don’t want to ruin kids’ fun, but they’d rather take the bikes off the streets than have to deal with something worse, like an accident. It’s a tough call, but safety comes first!
