Dangerous Driving.

Good Afternoon,

Motorcyclist forced off the road after dangerous driving 🏍️

This was the scene in Northallerton on Friday night, after our officers pursued a high-performance motorcycle and took it off the road.

The rider had failed to stop for North Yorkshire Police officers just before 10pm. He went into a pedestrian area and alleyways, before going through a red light.

In order to minimise risk, our specially-trained officers made tactical contact with a police vehicle to bring the pursuit to a rapid conclusion. The rider came off the bike on a roundabout island where he was detained. He is due to be interviewed about the incident.

Irresponsible use of high-powered vehicles puts everyone at risk - we won't hesitate to take action.
