According to police, on Sunday afternoon, several police patrols searched for a motorcyclist in Trondheim. The cross motorcycle was first observed in Midtbyen, where the speed was unacceptable and it ran several red lights. At 4:30 PM, in Olav Tryggvasons gate, a police patrol noticed the motorcycle and started a pursuit, but police did not succeed in stopping it.
The motorcycle was last seen in the Tyholt area, and police had several units searching. Around 6:00 PM, police ended the search, and on Monday morning, police lost the motorcyclist at Moholt. Police have no registration number to go after.
The current status of the search is unknown. In a related case, Daniel Chandler, 25, of Yarborough Road, Grimsby, admitted dangerous driving, driving while disqualified, and affray on February 7 this year. He drove a motorcycle through a pedestrianised street in Top Town during a high-speed police pursuit, later taking to a rooftop in a two-and-a-half hour stand-off with police, and threw a piece of metal and a clothes line at officers.
Police first spotted Chandler riding a motorcycle with a pillion passenger at around 1:30 PM, and the registration plate on the motorcycle was hanging off, which alerted police. The rider accelerated and sped off, ignoring red lights and reaching speeds of 60 mph in a 30 mph limit. He went the wrong side of a traffic island, mounted a pavement to evade police, and narrowly avoided a 4x4 vehicle.
After losing sight in a pedestrianised area, Chandler was spotted on a garage roof in Beechwood Avenue, Immingham, where he hurled abuse at officers before being persuaded to give himself up. Chandler had 26 convictions for 59 offences, including previous affray and dangerous driving. He was jailed for a rooftop stand-off in 2020 and sentenced to seven and a half years for affray and robbery, released afterward, and the recent offences breach his licence, meaning he will serve until 2027.
Judge Richard Woolfall said, 'It is a miracle no one was killed,' and added, 'Imagine if you had struck a child. ' The specific sentence for the February 7 offenses is unknown. Operations manager Anders Fiskvik stated, 'The cross motorcycle was first observed in Midtbyen.
The speed was unacceptable and it ran several red lights,' and 'We did not succeed in stopping it. Police must take the surroundings into account when we handle such a situation.
