Ol' Hell Rider of the County

An old hell rider was let loose in town early this morning leading police in a ten minute high-speed adrenaline chase around the city.

Police team from the Sekama police station spotted a suspicious-looking man riding a modified motorcycle and wearing a full-faced helmet at one in the morning while on patrol in Tabuan Jaya.

After being signalled by police to pull over to the side of the road for a routine inspection, the motorcyclist suddenly sped away from the scene.


A high-speed chase ensued through Tabuan Jaya, Tabuan Laru, Jalan Wan Alwi and Jalan Simpang Tiga giving the pursuing cops hard times to keep up with the speeding motorcyclist as he weaved his way in between cars and ran through traffic lights with little regard for safety.

Other police unit soon joined in the chase and managed to corner the suspect after he made a wrong turn into the Federal Complex carpark at Simpang Tiga.


The motorcyclist lost control of his bike and tumbled onto the road as police officers swarmed all over him and arrested him on the spot.


Suspecting the hell rider to be another delinquent youth as they removed his full-faced helmet, the police were surprised to find under the helmet a 50 something old grandpa.

When questioned as to why he risked his life to escape from the police, the 'old hell rider revealed that he was a grandfather but did not answer and merely flashed a partly toothless grin as he was led to the police station for further investigation.
