Victoria Police Air Wing assisted police on the ground to arrest a motorcyclist who was allegedly clocked doing more than double the speed limit on the Princes Freeway at Hoppers Crossing at about 8.40pm.
The Air Wing was on patrol when they spotted a Suzuki GSX750 travelling at double the 100km/h speed limit. The chopper took up a monitoring position overhead while guiding members on the ground to the rider’s location as he travelled at alleged speeds of up to 230km/h.
The rider unknowingly led police right to his location, pulling up and walking into a Hook Street address in Altona Meadows where the 31-year-old was arrested.
Police impounded the unregistered motorcycle, which had false registration plates.
The Altona Meadows man was charged with conduct endangering life, speeding, riding while disqualified and other traffic-related offences.
He was remanded in custody to appear before a court at a later date.
