England police have been trolled on social media after they were found using a 7.5-tonne recovery truck to tow away a mini electric scooter, which weighs less than 15 kilograms.
A police force from West Mercia in England's Herford has been trolled on social media after they were found using a 7.5-tonne recovery truck to tow away a mini electric scooter, which weighs less than 15 kilograms.
According to media reports, the police had seized a small mechanical scooter in Hereford on June 4. The department released a photo of the two-wheeler being towed away on the back of a massive truck.

The photo was shared on the official Facebook page of Hereford cops with the explanation that it was seized after the rider was spotted on public roads.
The post reads: ¡°If you do use an E-Scooter in those places you could face prosecution. Even if you are given a fixed penalty ticket, riding without insurance attracts a ?300 fine and 6 points on your driving license. If you don't have a license, the points would be on it when you apply for one.¡±
People were surprised to find out the scooter was being towed by a truck that is big enough to carry at least 20-30 more scooters of that size.
A user wrote: ¡°Couldn't you guys have just put the thing in a patrol cars boot? That towing truck seems like a massive waste of resource for such a tiny thing."
Others said it was a complete waste of money to use a massive tow truck to seize a tiny scooter
"Do you really want to congratulate on what looks like a complete waste of money to bring a tow truck to seize a flipping scooter," wrote another.
A third user wrote, ¡°I wonder if they could have found a bigger town truck for that scooter!!!! That would have fitted into the boot of a police car surely."
