Police on a high-speed chase through downtown Hamilton.

Police attempted to stop the youth in connection with a traffic offence on North Street, but the driver ignored the order and turned onto Cedar Avenue.

The officers gave chase and eventually caught up on foot after the driver lost control of the motor cycle in the Woodlands Road area.

Police late on Sunday afternoon responded to reports of a break in at a Rambling Lane Pembroke home, only to flush out a group of children ranging from four to six years old. A neighbour reported to Police that as he approached the home the children ran away in the direction of Curving Avenue, making good their escape.
