Police appeal to find rider who keeps setting off cameras like this

POLICE are appealing for help in identifying a Honda CRF rider who keeps pulling wheelies past speed cameras.

The rider has been reported 45 times since May and ‘activated a number of cameras across Sheffield’ with ‘wheelies at speeds between 50 and 80mph,’ South Yorkshire Police said.

A number of tactics used to pursue and catch the rider have failed, according to the force.

Now police need the public to help identify the rider to prevent further danger, the force said.

The bike’s been seen on the A616 Stocksbridge bypass, the A6135 around Chapeltown and the A61 in the north of Sheffield.

The force said in a statement: ‘Can you help officers identify the rider of this motorbike whose driving has been reported more than 45 times since May this year?

‘The motorbike, which is believed to be a Honda CRF, has activated a number of cameras across Sheffield where the rider can be seen doing wheelies at speeds between 50 and 80mph…

‘Officers have attempted to pursue the rider and a number of tactics have been used to try and stop the rider.

‘They are now asking members of the public to help identify the rider in a bid to prevent further dangerous driving.

‘Do you recognise the rider? Can you help officers identify them?’
