Motorcyclist arrested for multiple offences, pillion also arrested
In response to queries from MS News, the Singapore Police Force (SPF) said that a TP officer was patrolling along Old Choa Chu Kang Road at about 8.25pm on 28 June, when he signalled for a motorcycle to stop for checks.
However, the motorcyclist allegedly failed to comply and sped off instead, prompting TP officers to give chase.
During the pursuit, the motorcycle self-skidded along Choa Chu Kang Road in the direction of Bukit Batok Road.
The 23-year-old male motorcyclist fled on foot but was subsequently detained by the police. He was sent to the hospital in a conscious state.
He was subsequently arrested for dangerous driving, driving without a valid driving licence and fraudulent possession of property.
He is also assisting with investigations for failing to stop when ordered by a police officer and driving without insurance coverage.
Meanwhile, his 22-year-old female pillion rider was also arrested, for fraudulent possession of property.
Police investigations are ongoing.
