Officers Seize Motorbike during Warrant Operation; Two Men Arrested After Assaulting Police

Yesterday, 6 February, officers executed a search warrant at a residence on John McLean Drive in East End for a motorbike.  The motorbike had been spotted by the police helicopter crew last Sunday being ridden in a reckless manner and taken to that address.

Two men who were in the residence violently resisted the execution of the warrant, with one of them attempting to ride the motorbike in question out the back door of the residence.  He was stopped by two officers, both of whom he punched and threatened to kill.

Both men threw bricks and stones at the officers, and Tasers were deployed on both of them.  Both men, ages 28 and 31, were arrested for resisting arrest, assaulting police, threats to kill and assault ABH.

While in transport to the police detention centre, one of the accused spat at officers and also kicked out the rear passenger window of the police car.  He was further arrested for criminal damage.

Both are in Police custody, and the incident is under investigation.
