Do You Recognize This Motorcyclist?

The York Regional Police Traffic Enforcement Unit is seeking public assistance to identify the rider of a motorcycle after he was observed riding dangerously in the Town of Newmarket.

On Thursday, July 14, 2016, shortly before midnight, a motorcycle with two occupants was spotted by police driving at approximately 200 km/h on Mulcok Drive, west of Harry Walker Parkway. Police lost sight of the motorcycle as it turned south on Leslie Street and once again accelerated to a high rate of speed. The motorcycle was located as it was stopped at a red light on Ivsbridge Boulevard. When the rider noticed police he quickly accelerated north on Leslie Street and continued to travel at a high rate of speed east onto Mulock Drive, then south onto Highway 404 where police once again lost sight of the motorcycle.
