A reckless biker was caught on dash cam as he performed a dangerous wheelie in front of officers in a marked police car.
The unidentified biker also carrying a pillion passenger, performed the stunt at speed on South College Street in Aberdeen on Thursday afternoon at 4.28pm.
Police say the officers did not pursue the vehicle as it would have created further risk to the public.
The footage was shared by ABZ Car Cam who said: “Two on a bike pulling wheelies during rush hour and the Police didn’t even flinch!”
A Police spokeswoman said: “Police Scotland can confirm that officers were made aware of a motorcycle carrying out a ‘wheelie’ manoeuvre in the South College Street area of Aberdeen during the afternoon of 6 August. At this time it would have created further risk to the public to pursue the vehicle.
“Further enquiries have been carried out including reviewing CCTV footage and work is ongoing to target the anti-social use of motorcycles in Aberdeen as part of Operation Trinity.
“Over the summer period (6th April to 29th July) 81 motorcycles were seized with 62 people being charged for associated offences, without having to engage in pursuits. The period has also seen 42 stolen motorcycles returned to their owners.
“We note that these successes have been as a result of the positive support from our local communities and we would ask that people continue to report the dangerous, inconsiderate and antisocial use of motorbikes across the city.
“Anyone who has information in relation to this incident or anti-social behaviour involving motorcycles is asked to contact police on 101.”
