TWO men have been charged following police action targeting anti-social behaviour and the illegal use of electric motor vehicles.

Officers seized an electric motorbike and an electric scooter in the Stewarton and Kilmarnock areas earlier this month.

One male was arrested for driving under the influence of drugs, and another was charged with possession of class A and class B substances.

A police spokesperson said: "Both vehicles, by definition, are unregistered motor vehicles.

"They may only be used on areas of private land with the land owner's permission. They cannot be used on public roads, paths, cycle lanes etc.

"Officers will continue to work with partners and local communities to promote safety and tackle anti-social behaviour."
