A reckless biker led police on a dangerous pursuit through a Nottinghamshire town where he drove on the wrong side of the road. Police officers patrolling in marked cars saw Steven Roberts’ uninsured motorcycle on July 21, 2022 in Sheepbridge Lane, Mansfield, before approaching the bike and attempting to pull it over.
Roberts, 46, then became uneasy and sped off in an attempt to evade them shortly after 2.20pm. A pursuit then ensued, with the biker racing through the streets of Mansfield during his escape attempt.
The high-speed chase became more dangerous as Roberts weaved through oncoming cars and even used the wrong side of the road to bypass slower vehicles. Despite his efforts, police officers tracked him to his address, where he was found undressed with his helmet and jacket off.
