The Ramapo Police Department is asking for the public’s assistance in identifying two individuals who allegedly rode e-bike motorcycles recklessly and fled from an officer Thursday afternoon.
According to police, the incident occurred on Thursday, July 16, at approximately 3:54 p.m. A Ramapo Police officer was traveling eastbound on Route 59 in front of 7-Eleven when he attempted to safely move to the right to allow a Faist EMS ambulance responding to a medical emergency to pass.
As the officer moved over, two e-bike motorcycles reportedly passed on the officer’s right, blocking the maneuver. Police said the reckless driving continued onto Campbell Avenue, where one of the riders crossed over the double yellow lines into oncoming traffic.
After the riders turned into the Bon Aire community, the officer attempted to stop them. However, both riders fled southbound on Bon Aire Circle toward the Village of Suffern. Due to concerns for the safety of the public and the riders, the officer did not pursue.
The Ramapo Police Department is asking anyone who recognizes the individuals or has information that could help identify them from the released photograph to contact the department at (845) 357-2400.
Police emphasized that community assistance plays an important role in helping identify those responsible for dangerous behavior and keeping local roadways safe.
They’ve been around for long. They don’t follow any safety or road rules, let’s find them.
Not blaming the police but how is it even possible to identify them from that picture?
Looks like they are just passing the Amazon truck in this picture. The car is riding on the left side of the road, and the bicycle is following behind him.
The police could have a different complaint, but not from this photo
If you read the entire story, you would see, after the incident, they fled. The officer tried to pull them over, they didn’t comply. And then in this image, as they were passing that Amazon truck, evading and fleeing from an officer, the officer decided to take a picture of them, instead of chasing them I’m putting their lives at risk.
