A BIKIE was arrested last night after allegedly failing to obey police demands to pull over and then trying to evade officers by breaking into a house at Mitchell Park.
The outlaw motorcycle gang member was arrested in a house at Byard Tce, Mitchell Park, about 5.45pm.

The chase began when the rider of a Harley Davidson allegedly refused to follow a police order to stop on South Rd following a traffic infringement.

Attempting to elude police, the man, 27, rode down Mitchell Park backstreets before dumping his black Harley Davidson in the front yard of a house on Egan Crescent.

"He came roaring into the front yard of the house and just dumped the bike and then started jumping fences," a neighbour, who didn't wish to be named, said. "I heard he had some trouble trying to get over a couple of fences and I think he broke one as he jumped over it."

Neighbours said the man jumped into at least four backyards – one of which had children playing in it.

The man then broke into a house on Byard Tce, hiding as police cordoned off the surrounding area.

Officers searched several houses before locating and arresting the man and impounding the motorbike.

The man, from Parafield Gardens, was charged with several traffic offences as well as aggravated serious criminal trespass and property damage.

He also had an outstanding warrant. He was due to appear in the Adelaide Magistrates Court today.
