Riders caught in Diggers Rest

A Deanside woman was allegedly unlicensed and provided a positive roadside drug test and two motorcycles without registration were impounded in Diggers Rest.

Police observed the motorbikes in a convoy north along Plumpton Road about 12.30pm on Saturday 1 November.

Officers were able to intercept one of the motorbikes and spoke to the 40-year-old female rider from Deanside.

She had outstanding matters with police and was allegedly unlicensed and provided a positive roadside drug test.

She was bailed to attend Sunshine Magistrates’ Court on 13 January.

Shortly later, officers located the other rider hiding in some bushes a few hundred metres up the road.

Following a short foot chase, a 49-year-old Wollert man was arrested.

He also had outstanding matters with police, was allegedly unlicensed and returned a positive roadside drug test.

He was bailed to Broadmeadows Magistrates’ Court on 18 February.
