The electric scooters that mysteriously landed in Baton Rouge last week without approval from the city, might have been brought from Lafayette, WAFB-TV reports.
Fred Raiford, the city-parish director of transportation and drainage, reached out to the scooter ride-sharing company on Friday, which said the scooters could have been brought without authorization from Lafayette where Bird started operating business in November.
A statement from the company said Bird has not yet launched in Baton Rouge.

Raiford says that while some people would love to have the program launched in Baton Rouge, just as many might not want them around, possibly causing a public safety concern.
