Bay St. George RCMP is also looking for help in identifying the operator of a dirt bike who fled from police in Stephenville on October 18th. At approximately 2:30 p.m. RCMP was conducting school zone enforcement during pick up time near Stephenville Primary School on West Street. Police observed a red and white Honda CRF dirt bike driving on a sidewalk in front of the school during heavy vehicle and pedestrian traffic. The officer directed the dirt bike operator to an adjacent parking lot. Instead, the operator did a “wheelie”, fled at a high rate of speed on the sidewalk in front of the school and continued through two school crosswalks.
