Video from traffic cameras in downtown Orlando, and shared on the Orlando Police Department’s Facebook page<\/a>, showed large groups of kids on e-bikes riding through intersections \u2013 feet from other vehicles. Some of the riders appeared to pop wheelies while riding through those intersections, according to the video.\u00a0<\/p>\n Downtown Orlando is for everyone to enjoy, including kids and families. Come out, have fun, and make good memories, but not like this.<\/p>\n \u2014 Orlando Police Department Several kids detained, cited, and their e-bikes towed <\/p>\n What we know:<\/p>\n Police said several kids were detained, criminal citations issued, and in some cases, e-bikes were confiscated and towed.<\/p>\n Those detained or cited were then released to their parents or guardians.<\/p>\n Police said several bikes were not properly registered as required by law, which led to them being towed.<\/p>\n “Because of the size and mobility of the group, not every rider was immediately apprehended. However, officers took enforcement action when it could be done safely,” a spokesperson said in an email.\u00a0<\/p>\n What we don’t know:<\/p>\n Police said there were hundreds of kids, but did not release specifics on the number of kids detained, how many citations were issued, or how many bikes were towed.<\/p>\n The Source: The video and information is from the Orlando Police Department and was shared on their Facebook page.
