A man has been arrested after being tracked from above as he was speeding through the metropolitan area.

It will be alleged that about 1.40pm today (Monday 4 November), police spotted a blue/white motorcycle on Hereford Street at Enfield.

Checks revealed the registration had expired and the plates did not match the bike’s description.

The motorcycle then sped off towards the city on Main North Road, travelling south while PolAir was called in to follow the bike.

It drove around the eastern side of the city and headed east on Magill Road, then south on Portrush Road, speeding on to the South Eastern Freeway and heading east before exiting on to Bald Hills Road.

The rider was tracked to his house in Mount Barker where he was arrested.

The 28-year-old man was charged with numerous traffic offences including engaging in a police pursuit, driving unlicenced, excessive speed and unlawful possession.

He was bailed to appear in the Mount Barker Magistrates Court on 11 December.
