The operator did a “wheelie”, fled at a high rate of speed on the sidewalk in front of the school and continued through two school crosswalks. A short time later, police tried again to stop the motorcyclist but couldn’t.
Bay St. George RCMP is also looking for help in identifying the operator of a dirt bike who fled from police in Stephenville on October 18th. At approximately 2:30 p.m. RCMP was conducting school zone enforcement during pick up time near Stephenville Primary School on West Street. Police observed a red and white Honda CRF dirt bike driving on a sidewalk in front of the school during heavy vehicle and pedestrian traffic. The officer directed the dirt bike operator to an adjacent parking lot. Instead, the operator did a “wheelie”, fled at a high rate of speed on the sidewalk in front of the school and continued through two school crosswalks. A short time later, police tried again to stop the motorcyclist but couldn’t. The dirt bike operator was wearing a dark jacket with a bright red hoodie underneath, grey pants, a blue helmet with neon yellow/green accents and dark goggles.
Anyone having information on the identity of the dirt bike operator is asked to contact Bay St. George RCMP at 709-643-2118 or, to remain anonymous, contact Crime Stoppers: #SayItHere 1-800-222-TIPS (8477)
