The officers activated the Police cars emergency equipment; however the motorcycles continued east to the junction with Whale Bay Road. One of the motorcycles then managed to elude Police; however, the other cycle traveled on to Whale Bay Road and into a parking lot, followed by the officers. At this time the rider, a 21 year old Southampton man, dropped the motorcycle and attempted to flee on foot, but was caught. The Southampton man was subsequently arrested on suspicion of impaired driving, taken to Hamilton Police Station and detained after failing the alco-analyser test. Inquiries into this incident are underway.
