Beltrami County (trfnews.i234.me) — We’ve received unconfirmed reports out of Bemidji that nearly a dozen high-performance motorcycles, commonly known as crotch rockets, were involved in a police pursuit around 10:00 p.m. Saturday night.
While full details have not yet been released, the incident allegedly involved these fast and agile bikes speeding through town in an apparent effort to evade police. Law enforcement agencies have not commented on whether any stops were made or arrests occurred. Formal charges—if any—are expected to be filed by Monday.
Crotch rocket motorcycles are known for reaching extremely high speeds, often making them difficult to intercept and dangerous in urban settings [2][4].
We’ll continue to update this developing story as more information becomes available.
