Police stopped a man and seized his e-scooter after he ignored various warnings.
The man was issued with an e-scooter warning letter and a Section 59 warning which allows police to alert drivers if their vehicle is causing "alarm, distress or annoyance".
A week later officers saw the man again riding his e-scooter in Flackwell Heath.

Officers seized the vehicle under S165 of the Road Traffic Act yesterday morning and reported him for having no insurance and driving otherwise than in accordance with a licence.
He will also have to pay £150 to recover his e-scooter otherwise it will be crushed.
A Thames Valley Police social media post said: "What happens if you are issued with an E-Scooter warning letter and a Section 59 warning and a week later choose to ignore it?
As a Flackwell Heath man found to his cost on Monday morning, you get stopped by the police, your E-Scooter gets seized under S165 of the Road Traffic Act.
"You also get reported for no insurance, and driving otherwise than in accordance with a licence.
"Then as a bonus you have the privilege of paying £150 for the recovery of your E Scooter (or it gets crushed) and look forward to points on your licence and a fine.
"Take heed of the warning or it could be you next!"
