Whyalla rider arrested on homemade motorcycle

Just after 11pm on Tuesday 6 October, police responded to reports of a group of kids riding around on a mountain bike fitted with a motor.

Police patrols responded and saw the petrol-powered pushbike at the intersection of Baldwinson Street and Davis Street. The bike had no lights, and the rider was not wearing a helmet.

The rider was stopped and arrested for riding a homemade motorcycle on a public road.

A 14-year-old boy from Whyalla Norrie was charged with driving unlicenced and driving an unregistered and uninsured motor vehicle.

He was bailed to appear in the Whyalla Youth Court on 10 November.
