Manchester Police Seek 'Reckless' Dirt Bike Rider

MANCHESTER, NJ — Manchester Township Police are seeking the public's help in identifying a dirt bike rider who was riding recklessly in the Pine Lake Park section of the township on Saturday.

In a post on the department's Facebook page, police said the rider, described only as a young male, was "cruising recklessly without a helmet and riding at a high rate of speed on his red and white dirt bike," the post said.

He was first seen crossing over Commonwealth Boulevard on Southampton Boulevard by a patrolman, who tried to pull the biker over, police said.

"The rider took off, did some wheelies, and made multiple turns in Pine Lake Park," police said in the Facebook post. The patrol officer did not pursue the dirt bike out of concern for the safety of the public, the post said.
