Police said its off-road team officers attended reports of two off-road bikes doing wheelies down Richmond Road.

The officers, who spotted them as they turned onto Richmond Heights, singled one of the bikes suspecting it to be stolen.

Following a chase, the rider ditched the bike running off because he couldn’t get through the A Frame.

On checking, the bike had been stolen from Matilda Street on May 19.
