Speed demon hit 204km/h before eluding police

02 Sep, 2010 12:14 PM
Police are searching for a motorcyclist who reached speeds of more than 204 km/h while riding on the Tuggeranong Parkway yesterday.

About 1.40pm police started a pursuit of a motorcycle from the Tuggeranong Parkway at Stromlo, but terminated one minute later due to speed and loss of visual contact.

The motorcyclist failed to stop initially for excessive speed through the 40km/h and 60km/h roadwork’s zone at the Glenloch Interchange.

The motorcycle is described as a predominantly black road bike, with possible red stripes. The bike appears to be a MV Augusta 1000cc make and model. Police believe the rider is male, of large build and was wearing a black, possibly ARAI branded motorcycle helmet.

Police are appealing for any witnesses who may have seen the motorcycle or who know the identity of the rider to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or via the Crime Stoppers website.
