One of two dirt bikers wanted for reckless driving nabbed

Charges have been laid against one of two dirt bike riders accused of recklessly speeding through London last month.

Concerned citizens began calling London police about two un-plated bikes running red lights and passing vehicles while driving into oncoming traffic in the city around 3:15 p.m. February 2.

Police tried to stop the bikes, but they took off after getting into a minor collision with a marked cruiser, police said. No injuries were reported.

In the weeks that followed, police publicly released photos of the bright yellow and white dirt bikes and the individuals operating them.

A 26-year-old London man was identified as one of the dirt bikers, police said on Tuesday. He has been charged with nearly a dozen offences including dangerous driving, racing a vehicle, careless driving, failure to stop for police, and driving without insurance.

Police are still looking for the second rider involved in the incident. While a description of him is limited, police determined he was riding a white Suzuki dirt bike, had on a black and white helmet with a camera affixed to it, a black coat, and green pants.

Anyone with information in relation to this incident or the identity of the drivers is asked to call police at 519-661-5670 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).
