On August 25th, at approximately 7:15 p.m., officers observed three motorcycles enter Hoboken via the 14th Street Viaduct and turn south onto Willow Avenue, the department said in a statement.
None of the individuals on the bikes were wearing helmets and all failed to obey traffic signals.
A short time later, the three vehicles were observed on Washington Street where they eluded multiple attempts by officers to stop them and continued traveling throughout Hoboken ignoring red lights and stop signs.
Two of the motorcycles fled Hoboken via the 14th Street Viaduct eventually making their way into Jersey City and one, which had two people on board, exited over the Park Avenue Bridge into Weehawken.
The Hoboken PD’s Detective Bureau Street Crimes Unit continues to investigate and asks anyone with information or surveillance video from the involved locations is asked to contact Det. Sgt. William Collins at (201) 420-2100 ext. 3152, or CollinsW@hobokenpdnj.gov.
Once identified, those involved face numerous motor vehicle violations, and criminal charges of eluding, authorities said.
