At around 11.45am on Thursday (24th October) Hartlepool Proactive Team officers spotted this off-road Surron bike being ridden in an antisocial manner around the West View area of the town.
The rider was not wearing a helmet and allegedly went to make off from police.
When he was stopped by officers shortly afterwards, the 23-year-old male rider was arrested on suspicion of possession with intent to supply Class A drugs, dangerous driving, failing to stop for police, theft of motor vehicle, driving with no licence and driving with no insurance.
He has been bailed whilst enquiries continue.
We would appeal for anyone with dashcam or CCTV footage of the incident to contact Cleveland Police on the 101 number quoting ref 203828.
Alternatively, information can be passed anonymously to www.crimestoppers-uk.org or by phoning them on 0800 555 111.
