A 19-year-old Higgins man who tried to evade police after performing a burnout in the car park of the Belconnen Police Station will face court today.
At about 8.40pm yesterday (Monday, 17 March) police will allege a group with trail bikes were performing burnouts in the Belconnen car park before one man rode up to the front doors of the station on a yellow Suzuki motorcycle before riding back to the car park.
Police attempted to approach the group before they rode away from the station ignoring police directions to stop. A short time later police then observed one of the bikes on its side on Chan Street in Belconnen and the rider attempting to get back on the bike. Police will allege he then rode over a garden bed before falling off the bike again.
He was subsequently arrested while he was attempting to get back on the bike and charged with failing to stop a motor vehicle for police and aggravated/furious/reckless/dangerous driving.
The yellow Suzuki trail bike was unregistered at the time and the 19-year-old was subject to good behaviour obligations. He will front the ACT Magistrates Court this morning.
Investigations into the incident are ongoing and anyone with any information that could assist police is urged to contact Crime Stoppers. Please quote reference number 7998528.
