Police appeal after scooter rider failed to stop for Roads Policing officers
Officers in Bourton-on-the-Water spotted a silver Yamaha 125 scooter which had previously been ridden in an anti-social manner
Gloucestershire Police have launched an appeal to help identify the rider of a scooter who they say failed to stop for their Roads Policing officers, who were on patrol in Bourton-in-the-Water.
Officers spotted a silver Yamaha 125 scooter which had previously been ridden in an anti-social manner.
The scooter was seen on Rissington Road at around 2pm on Monday 2 May and police say that attempts, including the use of a stinger, were made to get the rider of the scooter to pull over.
Despite suffering a flat front tyre, we're told the rider did not comply.
Police deemed that it was not safe enough for a pursuit to take place as the rider had gone into oncoming traffic and through a red light on the A424.
Enquiries have established that the scooter is not taxed or insured and has regularly been in Bourton-on-the-Water and Rissington over the last week.
At this time the current keeper of the scooter is not known and officers now want to identify and speak to the rider.
Anyone who recognises the person pictured or has information about the scooter is asked to complete the following online form quoting incident 161 of 2 May.
