POUGHKEEPSIE – City Police Poughkeepsie impounded seven off-road bikes and scooters last Thursday as part of a citywide crackdown on illegal vehicles. The four-hour sweep followed an announcement by Mayor Rob Rolison that a new law being proposed will provide additional enforcement tools for the police to reduce the number of nuisance vehicles.
“The police have received numerous complaints of scooters and off-road vehicles being operated on sidewalks, streets, and our parks,” said Police Captain Rich Wilson. “This was the first of many planned, unannounced, focused operations that will be initiated by the department.”
