A dirt bike rider who performed a burnout in front of police in Werribee on Thursday has been arrested.
The rider was travelling along Point Cook Road, near Sneydes Road, when he was spotted by police at about 8.30pm on January 11.
Police were in close proximity to the rider when he allegedly looked at them, performed a burnout and lost traction with his wheels.
The police air wing assisted officers on the ground as the rider took off down Sneydes Road and then along Duncans Road where he mounted a gutter and rode on the footpath in an attempt to get away.
The 19-year-old also allegedly ran a number of red lights through Werribee before officers caught up with him outside a home in Taisho Court, Werribee.
The rider was then breath tested by police and recorded an illegal blood alcohol reading of 0.078.
He has been charged with drink driving as well as conduct endangering life, unlicensed riding, loss of traction and other traffic related matters.
The Werribee mans’ phone has also been seized after he was seen allegedly using it to film police as they attempted to pull him over in Duncans Road.
He has been bailed to appear before Werribee Magistrates’ Court on July 30 and his dirt bike impounded for 30 days at a cost of $995
