A motorbike rider who fled from Police before attempting to hide as an unsuspecting football fan will head to court.
Just after 6pm last night, Police were conducting speed patrols around the Huapai area spotted a motorcycle allegedly travelling at 110kph in a 80kph posted speed zone on State Highway 16.
Auckland Motorways Manager, Senior Sergeant Bill Russell says Police attempted to conduct a vehicle stop however the motorcycle fled.
"No pursuit was initiated, but the Police Eagle helicopter was able to quickly get overhead.
"The crew has then spotted the rider entering the Huapai Domain where he has allegedly parked on the footpath and attempted to blend in with football fans watching a game."
Unfortunately for the rider he was swiftly taken into custody.
"We are committed to keeping people safe on our roads and individuals who chose to drive or ride in a reckless or dangerous manner will be held to account."
A 32-year-old man has been charged with failing to stop and will appear in Waitākere District Court on Friday.
