Police were driving to a job along Omrah Avenue in Caloundra when they noticed a motorbike being ridden by two men who kept looking back at them.

The bike increased its speed and turned right into Centaur Street, cutting the corner and swerving onto the wrong side of the road and then back again.

It then allegedly mounted the footpath, narrowly missing two parked vehicles and a number of pedestrians using the footpath.

The police officers entered Centaur Street, where they saw the motorbike continue through the intersection, which is controlled by a stop sign, before entering Bulcock Street and colliding with a vehicle travelling east.

Both riders flew through the air, landed on their feet and ran into Tay Street. The motorbike slid along the roadway and ended up in the middle of the road.

The two men were later found hiding near the esplanade at Caloundra.

They have been issued with a notice to appear in court to face charges of unlicensed driving, driving an unregistered and uninsured vehicle, having false plates, driving without due care and attention, failing to remain at the scene of a traffic accident, and carrying a passenger on motorbike.
