Police have seized an electric scooter from a teenage girl in Calne town centre.
Officers took the vehicle from a 15-year-old girl on Friday 16 January after she was seen riding away from police.
With help from CCTV operators, the rider was later traced to Church Street, where she was attempting to evade officers.
PCSO Mark Cook said police had been focusing on the issue after concerns were raised by local residents.
He said: “We have been targeting this issue following concerns raised by several members of the community.
“Prior to Christmas, we issued advice on e-scooters and the restrictions on their use.
“Unfortunately, it appears that this advice has not been taken on board by some parents.”
Wiltshire Police said both riders and parents should be aware of where e-scooters can and cannot be used.
They warned that riders may be stopped, reported for relevant offences and have their e-scooters seized.
E-scooters are classed as Personal Light Electric Vehicles and are treated as motor vehicles under the law.
This means they are subject to legal requirements including a driving licence, insurance, tax and an MOT.
As e-scooters do not have number plates, signalling equipment or consistent rear lighting, they cannot be used legally on public roads.
It is also illegal to ride a privately owned e-scooter in any public place in the UK, including pavements, parks and town centres.
Police said the only place a privately owned e-scooter can be used legally is on private land, with the permission of the landowner.
