In total, six dirt bikes and one quad engaged an unnamed officer with the North Haven Police Department on Sunday “in a slow pursuit on Maple Avenue towards New Haven,” the department wrote on Facebook.

Some of the riders drove the dirt bikes across lawns and caused damage. At one point during the pursuit, “one rider fell off, but quickly jumped onto the back of another dirt bike and fled," according to the police department.

The North Haven Police Department is asking anyone who can identify the riders to come forward.

One minute long.

It looks like anarchy on the streets. When will the cops get smart and acquire their own motorcycles and 4 wheelers to deal with these hooligans? This kind of crap has been going on for a few years now and it's really getting out of hand. It is happening all over the country.

Drones.

It is happening all over the country

It’s not happening where I live, which as far as I know is in the United States...

It teaches the offenders they can commit crimes and get away with it.

Mossberg is the solution

[Paladin2]

Tell that to H->! .

You’d be surprised. It is mostly around the cities though.

What country is North Haven in?

Not here either, and we have a lot of open space for dirt bikes and ATVS.

Connecticut. It’s a country in Africa.

3/8” cable about 4’ off the ground would work well.
Please get video and post it on YouTube

It's bad in California dude. But like I said, mostly around the larger cities in "certain" parts of town.

cop chasing motorcycles and 4 wheelers

If you say so, but I live hundreds of miles from any big city so all I see are courteous, law abiding, dirt bike and ATV riders driving down designated, marked roads on their way to dirt trails.

That's one thing that often wins in pursuits against the cops. Dirt bikes are fast, can go nearly anywhere, no license plates and the riders face/ID is often covered by helmet etc.

In fact If I were going to rob a bank, a dirt bike for a getaway vehicle would likely do very well. ☺

I really like dirt bikes. Especially the vintage bikes. If States provided more places for them to ride just maybe this might not happen as often as it does.

A gang of these ATV and dirt bike thugs invaded my commute home about a month ago. A Statie shot one of them.

Reports on local Boston TV show a surge of dirt bike thefts.

Evidently the perps use these bikes to go crazy on local highways and have no regrets in leaving bikes behind during a police chase.

...and receive a nice long prison sentence.

FakeBook does NOT approve of that solution.

A statie shot one. Cool beans.

I say just start tagging and tracking instead of chasing. We have the technology now.
