electric scooters in the City of Fort Lauderdale since April 2019. A majority of the incidents occurred near the 1200 block of East Broward Boulevard in the City of Fort Lauderdale and all include severed brake lines.
On September 29th, the Fort Lauderdale Police Department arrested an individual in the
act of tampering with several electric scooters. Further investigation revealed a total of 20
scooters were located nearby with severed brake lines.
The suspect has been identified as Randall Thomas Williams, W/M, DOB 6/30/1960, a

tampered with should contact the vendor.
