Who ditches a bike in a police chase for an SUV? Crashing into the bike and pushing it until it catches fire is the icing on the cake.

A convenience store robbery in Richmond Hill led York Region police on a wild chase up into Aurora on Wednesday morning, eventually shutting down a portion of Yonge Street.

Yonge was closed in both directions near Industrial Parkway as police searched for the suspect. A 28-year-old man was arrested just before 6:30 a.m.

Officers allege the man broke in to a variety store at Yonge and Silverwood Avenue, north of Elgin Mills, around 4:30 a.m.

When the store’s emergency alarms went off, the suspect took off on a motorcycle. As police pursued him, the suspect ditched the bike and carjacked a second vehicle. After a short struggle with the driver, the suspect then continued north on Yonge.

At one point, the chase reached speeds of 140 kilometres an hour.

However, the suspect struck his own motorcycle in his attempt to escape, dragging the bike on Yonge. The motorcycle caught fire near Industrial Parkway and the man fled on foot.

The canine unit as well as a police helicopter was brought in for the search and the man was arrested.

He was taken to hospital with minor injuries.

There’s no word yet on charges.

Holy crap!

He would have been better off trying to run on the bike. However 140 is peanuts...bad rider?

Maybe the bike isn't even his. I'm waiting for some politician now to want to make a name for him/herself by banning motorcycles and blocking GTAV.

No, to continue in the typical fashion, they'll propose a specific law to make it a crime to

1. operate a stolen motor vehicle in such a manner as to bring it into contact with a disabled motor vehicle;
2. to move a disabled motor vehicle, whether pushed, pulled, or otherwise conveyed with a stolen motor vehicle on a highway;
3. to operate a stolen motor vehicle in a manner that causes the stolen motor vehicle or any other motor vehicle, including a disabled motor vehicle, to ignite in flame.

The last one will be considered a combustible offence.

My co-worker saw it this morning on the way to work. She watched as the car was fleeing officers dragging the sparking moto under it. Guy was caught later.

So he crashed the bike into the Lexus. He IS a bad rider. And a dummeh for knocking off a convenience store in the first place!

I bet it was the damn traction control on the bike that slowed down the SUV.

[Low rider]

I'll bet he ditched the bike because he didn't know how to ride it.
