Ōtara dirt bike incident: Rider faces driving and drug charges, motorbike impounded

  • February 12, 2026

“Staff have then quickly taken him into custody. However, a search has located bags of cannabis and methamphetamine, along with an amount of cash.”

The man was now facing a range of charges, including dangerous driving, possession of methamphetamine for supply and possession of cannabis, Cornish said.

“Unsafe and illegal dirt bike riding activity poses a significant risk to not only themselves, but members of the public going about their business.

“Police will continue to respond and hold these offenders to account for this type of dangerous activity.”

The man was due to appear in Manukau District Court on Friday next week, Cornish said.
