Police have arrested a motorcyclist who was allegedly clocked doing more than double the speed limit in Melbourne’s west last night.
The police Air Wing was on patrol when they spotted a Suzuki GSX750 travelling at double the 100km/h speed limit on the Princes Freeway at Hoppers Crossing about 8.40pm.
The chopper has taken 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.
