Biker spends night behind bars

A biker visiting the Island has spent a night behind bars.

It comes as the Island's Constabulary Roads Policing Unit stopped a man yesterday, who was found to have no licence, insurance or tax.

In an update today, Police say the man from England hadn't taxed his bike for 30 years.

Further, a homemade cardboard registration plate, displaying the wrong reg was also found on the bike.

After being arrested, he spent a night in the cells - in court this morning he was fined £650 and received 5 penalty points.

He'll also have to pay for the return of the bike and storage costs.

Officers say the message is simple - 'enjoy your visit, abide by the laws of the land and all is well. If you don't, then we will deal with you.'
