A rider has lost his bike for a month and been summonsed to court after making a poor decision in Moerewa yesterday.

At about 5pm, officers observed an unregistered dirt bike travelling at speed on Otiria Road before turning into Pokapu Road.

Mid North Area Response Manager, Senior Sergeant Mark Barratt, says the officers activated their lights and sirens to signal for the rider to stop.

“The rider has then unfortunately made the decision not to stop and continued on driving into a culvert and onto a grass patch.
