Motorcyclist charged after 'flying' across Toronto area at nearly 300 km/h: police
A motorcyclist has been charged with a slew of offences after "flying" across two major highways at nearly 300 km/h to dodge police, York Regional Police say. The 37-year-old man from Richmond Hill was captured on video by the York police air support unit last Friday morning, police said in a news release. "He's flying," one officer said in the video. Officers first alerted the air support unit after they noticed a black Yamaha motorcycle speeding northbound on Highway 404, police said in the release. Police said the man was then seen stealing gas from an Elgin Mills Road gas station and returning to the road. He then continued southbound down the 404, then westbound on the 407, before finally arriving in Mississauga. "The motorcyclist was observed lane splitting [and] weaving through traffic," the release said. Once in Mississauga, he managed to enter a building's underground with the "aid of an accomplice," police said. Police said he left his motorcycle and attempted to evade police by leaving in a rideshare – but was caught and arrested as he arrived home. "Judging by his driving behaviour, this isn't his first time," said Const. Lisa Moskaluk, spokesperson for York Regional Police. "It's a miracle he did not crash." The charges include stunt driving, use of a plate not authorized for vehicle, speeding, theft under $5,000 and driving without insurance.

Motorcyclist caught on video excessively speeding and weaving in and out of traffic in York Region
Video shows the pursuit and arrest of a motorcyclist going almost 300 km/h on Highway 401. A motorcyclist spotted by York Regional Police's helicopter Air2 speeding excessively while weaving in and out of traffic on Highway 407 in Aurora faces a series of charges. Police say the incident happened on Friday when Air2 noticed the motorcycle with speeds in excess of 200km/h as it ducked in and around traffic. YRP Const. Lisa Moskaluk said in a video posted on social media the chopper was able to watch as the driver stole fuel, drove through red lights, and 'travelled at nearly triple the speed limit on the 407.' The YRP chopper tracked the motorcycle from Aurora to Mississauga. 'When dealing with reckless drivers, it's not safe for our officers on the ground to attempt to stop, this is why we leave it to Air2 to strategically observe the vehicle,' Moskaluk said. Police released new aerial footage from the chopper of the incident, including surveillance footage from an underground parking garage in Mississauga where they say the accused was seen attempting the hide the motorcycle with help from an accomplice. YRP motorcycle Underground garage video surveillance shows a man with a motorcycle at a Mississauga, Ont. business on July 4, 2025. (York Regional Police) 'Air support spotted the rider leaving in a rideshare,' the constable continued. 'Officers quickly located the bike, and the rider was later met by officers at his residence in Richmond Hill.' 'This driver ignored the rules of the road and put hundreds of lives and families in danger for a (not so) cheap thrill,' YRP stated online. Police say the motorcyclist, who wasn't identified, was arrested and faces charges of dangerous operation, theft under $5,000, stunt driving, speeding, using an unauthorized plate for a vehicle, and driving without insurance. 'We're watching day and night,' Moskaluk said. 'There are no excuses for dangerous driving.'
