00:00A trip to Walmart turned into chaos when teens on e-bikes and many motorcycles took over the storm.
00:06Now this latest incident sparking fresh debate over e-bike safety
00:10and whether enough is being done to stop reckless riders.
00:13KTLA's Sandra Mitchell joins us live in Hollywood with more. Sandy?
00:19Sharon Micah, we have all seen these dangerous riders on the streets
00:23and now some of them are getting even bolder, going right into stores.
00:27Tonight I talked with the man who says his family was really stunned and frankly scared
00:33when they started revving right through a Walmart.
00:38Punks, get the f*** out of here before you hurt someone.
00:43Chaos in an Orange County Walmart. Kids on e-bikes and e-motos terrorizing shoppers.
00:49I was yelling at them to get out and none of the store employees were doing anything.
00:53That's 61-year-old Vince Vasquez on his mobility scooter.
00:58He says the teens almost crashed into his wife and daughter who has autism.
01:03And it really startled my daughter.
01:06I yelled at them to stop.
01:09It happened Sunday afternoon inside the Walmart in Foothill Ranch.
01:13No one was hurt, but the riders got away.
01:15An Orange County Sheriff's Department spokesperson telling KTLA the incident did not result in criminal charges,
01:22but the potential for someone to be harmed, damages to the store, or trespassing charges are very real.
01:31It is the latest incident involving riders on e-bikes and e-motorcycles causing dangerous, sometimes deadly situations.
01:39In April, a 14-year-old allegedly struck and killed an 81-year-old, also in Lake Forest.
01:46In May, a Huntington Beach man seriously injured after he was attacked by a large group of e-bike riders.
01:54Well, clearly there are no boundaries for these kids.
01:57Beth Black is the author of The Caring Parents' e-Bike Survival Guide.
02:02She says it is vital that parents are more aware of the dangers.
02:07This was not a harmless prank.
02:09It's a direct result of zero consumer awareness and a lack of compliance.
02:14Vazquez, who is also an avid e-bike rider, says he blames parents and police.
02:20More people don't have to get hurt.
02:22More people don't have to get killed for this to stop.
02:27I think the police need to do a better job patrolling and just immediately impounding these motorcycles.
02:40The Orange County Sheriff's Department says it's still trying to track down those teenagers in the Walmart incident,
02:46but it is unlikely they will face any charges.
02:50We're live tonight in Hollywood.
02:51I'm Sandra Mitchell, KTLA 5 News, Sharon Micah.
02:53Back to you.
