When the officers arrived one of the bikes was found to be travelling at 177 km/hr. That bike fled from officers while the other stopped. The driver of the second bike was subsequently charged with learner driving motorcycle without proper supervisor under the traffic safety act. The driver of the first motorcycle was eventually located and charged with driving at an unreasonable rate of speed, and for failing to stop for police.
The next evening on Sept. 27, at 9 p.m. officers attended a suspicious vehicle call. When they arrived they found a broken down car. The occupants of the car both had outstanding warrants from various locations. Both the male and female occupants were arrested and the vehicle was searched.
