A FATHER’S Day joy ride turned into a nasty police pursuit for a motorcyclist who will now face court on a string of charges.

It will be alleged at 9.17pm police observed a stolen motorcycle travelling on Pomona Connection Rd at Pomona and activated lights and siren.

Police allege the motorbike crossed double lines to the wrong side of the road on a corner and accelerated away. The motorbike then turned into Bakers Rd and Enchelmeier Rd before heading onto a track and hitting a wire fence.

The man fled on foot and was located by a police dog and arrested.

He has been charged with one count of dangerous driving, burglary, unlawful use of a motor vehicle, stealing, receiving tainted property, unlicensed driving, possession of dangerous drug (amphetamine) and evading police.
