The bike initially came to the attention of a patrolling officer at around 10.40pm on Saturday 3 December, after it was seen speeding in Dock Road. The vehicle failed to stop when requested to do so and the officer initiated a pursuit, with the blue lights illuminated.

It is alleged the suspect travelled on the wrong side of the road to evade capture and repeatedly exceeded speed limits. The bike finally came to a halt in The Brook, where it collided with a car. The rider attempted to flee on foot but was successfully detained.
