Nearly 100 illegal scooters were seized from Queens streets and sidewalks in the latest clampdown on menacing mopeds, authorities said Thursday.
A four-day blitz by Queens District Attorney’s Office detectives and NYPD cops hauled in 99 unregistered and uninsured scooters, prosecutors said.
All the illegal mopeds, plus another five legit scooters, were parked illegally across Corona, Elmhurst, Jackson Heights and beyond during the crackdown’s span starting June 4 and ending Tuesday, officials said.
“Illegal scooters have become a significant concern in our city, as we see them increasingly being used while carrying out violent crimes,” said Queens District Attorney Melinda Katz in a statement.

Aren’t they just “undocumented mopeds?”

Illegal scooters should be welcomed, they are all over third world countries.

“Illegal scooters have become a significant concern in our city...”
Miss Katz, it’s not the scooters that are the problem, it’s the criminals riding them that are the problem. Will the scooters be released within hours like the criminals are?

Welp, that’s 100 more than the number of illegal alien interlopers we arrested. Oh, excuse please, I meant to say FUTURE DEMOCRATIC VOTERS IN NOVEMBER! My bad.

Who is supplying all these illegal mopeds for illegal aliens?? Probably one of the NGO’s funded by taxpayer monies. - just like the i-phones and apple wrist watches they all seem to have.

they should also confiscate unregistered kitchen knives and carve serial numbers in all the rocks in new york also at tax payer expense so they can tell when a rock was used in commission of a crime

Around here 50cc and under does not need to be licensed or registered. I have a Tomos Revival that can do 45 mph when set up right. Lots of fun.
