Police are continuing to crack down on dangerous driving and riding behaviour around Mooloolaba.

At 7.46am on Saturday 11 April, officers patrolling the area stopped at a set of traffic lights at the intersection of Brisbane Road and Foote Street, when a motorbike rider performed a wheelie across the intersection in front of the marked police vehicle.

The rider was subsequently pulled over in a car park beside Alexandra Parade in Alexandra Headland.

A 21-year-old Mountain Creek man was issued a traffic infringement notice for not having proper control of his vehicle and was fined $389.

Dangerous driving or riding on our roads endangers lives and puts innocent members of the public at risk.

The Queensland Police Service employs a range of covert and overt strategies, including the use of unmarked motorbikes, to patrol known hotspots and take enforcement action.

The message to anyone taking part in high-risk activities on local roads is police will continue to target and investigate dangerous acts and take action against those involved.

Police and the community do not accept these reckless antics on our roads and anyone with any information to assist police in identifying those involved are urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
