Thieves have targeted e-scooter stores around Canberra in the past week, stealing an estimated $200,000 worth of scooters and equipment, with store owners expressing their frustration at police in tracking down the culprits.
Information provided to The Canberra Times has revealed that the thieves have used much the same methods of entry across multiple premises, leaving forensic evidence behind and even stealing a utility from Fyshwick which was equipped with a tracking device.
The tracking data from the utility was made quickly available to police but no arrests have yet been made.
