Mounties are looking for suspects in a dirtbike stunt driving investigation in Fort McMurray.

Police said they were conducting drone patrols in the Timberlea area on April 29 around 3:30 p.m. when they located a dirtbike stunt driving on Carteret Drive.

A traffic stop was attempted, but the driver of the dirtbike fled with complete disregard for their own and others’ safety, said police in a news release Friday.

About 40 minutes later, Mounties saw three different dirtbikes travelling on Rainbow Creek Drive. None of the bikes had licence plates and one driver was not wearing a helmet.

Officers attempted a traffic stop but all three drivers fled. Due to risk to the public, police did not pursue the bikes.

Anyone with information regarding the drivers and the dirtbikes are asked to contact Wood Buffalo RCMP at 780-788-4000. Anonymous tips can be submitted through Crime Stoppers.

RCMP are reminding the public that operating an off-highway vehicle in such a manner is dangerous, can cause serious injuries or death, and can result in criminal charges. The use of off-highway vehicles is prohibited on Fort McMurray roads outside of the Abasand neighbourhood and on all sidewalks, parks, green spaces and urban trails.
