Auckland Council says it was aware of dishonest behaviour from E-scooter company Beam before it was made public.

Australian media exposed the company for deploying too many scooters in some cities and manipulating its data.

The council's since accused the company of breaking its contract, and is referring the matter to the police.

Auckland Council Licensing Manager Mervyn Chetty told Mike Hosking it was tipped off this month.

He says it included internal comms from Beam, showing an intent to mislead the council.

Options are being explored to restock scooters in the city, and Chetty says they hope to have the process completed soon.
