Queens District Attorney Melinda Katz has heard our concern of rampant illegal scooters borough-wide. Her office partnered with the NYPD on a four-day operation last week and successfully seized unregistered, uninsured, and illegally parked scooters in Queens. This operation resulted in more than 100 scooters being removed as part of the Queens DA’s efforts to enhance community safety. Illegal scooters are an affront to law-abiding New Yorkers who take the time to register, insure, and maintain their vehicles.
A total of 515 scooters, two motorcycles, and one dirt bike have been confiscated since the start of the joint operation this past February, and the Queens DA remains committed to continuing enforcement efforts.
