Merseyside police ‘surprised’ to catch boy, 7, driving off-road scrambler bike Concerned members of public alerted officers to vehicle being driven erratically in Knowsley on New Year’s Eve.
The boy was stopped after police responded to reports from concerned members of the public on New Year’s Eve about the way a scrambler bike was being ridden in Huyton.
Police on Merseyside have admitted they were surprised when they caught up with an erratically driven scrambler bike on a public road to find the rider was a seven-year-old boy.
“We’ve seized the scrambler bike from today’s incident in line with Operation Brookdale protocols and we will continue to seize scrambler bikes that are being ridden dangerously or illegally.
It is illegal for a scrambler to be driven on the road, but to let a child take to the roads presents a danger to their safety and the safety of others.
