A 39-year-old man has been arrested after evading police on three separate occasions last year.
Police said the man was spotted riding his motorbike through the small town of Kimbell, north of Timaru, and was headed towards Fairlie.
Police waited for the man to drive through Fairlie but when he didn't pass them, an area such was conducted. His bike was located shortly after and the man was arrested.
"This is a really good example of why you should pull over when signalled by Police," Senior Constable Russell Halkett said.
"This person was concerned because the bike wasn’t up to scratch, and he’s now facing much more serious charges."
Police said the man was involved in three separate fleeing driver incidents in Hampden, Omarama and Lake Tekapo last year.
The man has been charged with three counts of failing to stop and one count of dangerous driving, and will appear in Oamaru District Court on 13 February.
