Monday (August 10) was an eventful day for EMPD after a Germiston motorcyclist was arrested for speeding, followed by a major R2.5-million drug seizure in Kempton Park.
“At 10am on the N3 freeway direction south the Rand Airport off-ramp, a 30-year-old male riding a blue Yamaha motorcycle, who claimed he was test driving the machine, was arrested for speeding. He clocked 226km/h in a 120km/h zone,” said EMPD spokesperson Kobeli Mokheseng.
The suspect was charged with reckless and negligent driving after being escorted to Germiston Police Station.
Mokheseng said the EMPD North Task Team patrolling West Street noticed a suspicious-looking silver VW Polo sedan, with a male driver, during a crime-prevention operation just before 9pm.
