Rotorua Police have made a further arrest in the operation to target illegal motorcycle anti-social road users.<\/p>\n
A 21-year-old was charged with reckless driving and will appear in the Rotorua District Court on Thursday, September 19.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey were seen allegedly riding dangerously through Rotorua suburbs, cutting through traffic, pulling wheel stands and not wearing a protective helmet,\u201d Rotorua road policing coordinator Senior Sergeant John Stapleford said.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is the latest development in Rotorua Police\u2019s ongoing operation targeting illegal trail and dirt bike offenders that make our roads unsafe.\u201d<\/p>\n
Two arrests have been made, and seven bikes have been seized in the last month, thanks to support from the community, Senior Sergeant Stapleford said.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe continue to urge our community to come forward with information around where bikes are coming and going from, and if known, the offenders.<\/p>\n
\u201cInformation like this helps us to hold riders accountable and possibly seize bikes for the safety of everyone on the roads or out and about.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf you witness any anti-social road user behaviour, we urge you to report it immediately by calling 111 or make a report via 105 if it is after the fact.\u201d<\/p>\n
