Police have arrested a man after an e-scooter was nabbed from a North Shore bus station

They say a 39-year-old was tracked after failing to steal an earlier scooter before getting on a bus.

Police say he got off at Constellation Bus Station and was successful in cutting through a lock and rode away on the scooter.

He was shortly arrested on a busway.

He will make a second appearance at North Shore District Court early next month.
