A teenager is expected to be charged on summons with traffic offences after taunting officers on a motorcycle in front of police in Craigieburn.

Police were dealing with an unrelated matter in the car park of Craigieburn Police Station on Craigieburn Road, when a black motorcycle approached about 3.10pm on Wednesday 8 October.

The male rider began to taunt officers and attempted to perform a mono before he stalled his motorbike and was unable to restart the ignition.

The man fled on foot as officers approached but was arrested nearby on Plumpton Avenue.

The 17-year-old from the Hume area is expected to be charged on summons with several traffic offences including unlicensed riding and using an unregistered motorcycle.

His motorcycle was impounded for 30 days at a cost of $999.
