Police have seized an e-bike following reports it was being ridden in an anti-social manner in Horsham.

Response officers attended the Brighton Road area last Thursday after concerns were raised about the way the bike was being used.

The e-bike was seized at the scene as officers continue efforts to tackle the anti-social use of e-bikes and e-scooters across the town.

Sussex Police said information provided by residents played an important role in helping officers respond to incidents and identify areas where problems were taking place.
