A crackdown on illegal e-scooters nationally has seen seven of them seized in Hertfordshire.

BCH Roads Policing say they've been confiscated during Operation Topaz in the town.

All seven were taken and the riders reported for not having a licence nor insurance.

One of the e-scooters was able to read speeds of 28 miles an hour.

They will now be scrapped say police.
