• Four illegal motorbikes impounded after juveniles crash outside a coastal OC police station (newsantaana.com) — Juveniles riding illegal motorbikes were seen weaving through traffic in Los Alamitos, Cypress, and Seal Beach, with two crashing right in front of Seal Beach Police Department. Officers impounded four illegal bikes, cited the riders, and warned parents about serious legal and financial consequences. The story highlights a sharp rise in youth e‑bike and e‑moto injuries countywide and urges families to stick to street‑legal e‑bikes and safety gear.
