Man Arrested, Curfew Breach, Chase, Drugs
A 26-year-old man who was allegedly in possession of cocaine and cannabis resin led police on a high speed chase on a bike — which was unlicensed and uninsured – with the suspect eventually being arrested after he injured his ankle jumping over a wall as part of his apparent effort to evade a curfew checkpoint.
A police spokesperson said, “Shortly before 12:30 a.m. today, Wednesday 10th February, 2021, members of the Roads Policing Unit [RPU] were assisting with a curfew checkpoint on North Shore Road in Devonshire.
“Officers observed a motorcycle make a U-turn as the rider neared the checkpoint.
“RPU units attempted to stop the rider who led them on a high speed chase west along Middle Road in Devonshire and on to Shelton Road in Pembroke, where the rider lost control and came off the bike in the area of First Avenue.
“The suspect then attempted to evade police by jumping over a nearby wall. He however sustained a serious ankle injury in the process and was subsequently arrested.
“The suspect, a 26-year-old male, was transported to King Edward VII Memorial Hospital, where he was admitted for treatment to a suspected broken ankle.
“An officer sustained a minor hand injury during the arrest as the suspect attempted to escape.
“Further checks by police revealed the arrested man was in possession of a quantity of suspected crack cocaine as well as a quantity of cannabis resin. The suspect’s bike, which was seized by police, was unlicensed and uninsured.”
Lol. Thats alot of charges coming his way.
He sure is a bright spark of wisdom now, isn’t he? Those life choices are sure going to take him places in life……. Jail.

It’s mind blowing how many people here are totally incapable of learning . But it’s us that have a problem !
