Dramatic footage shows the moment a dangerous biker is arrested in a sting operation after evading speed cameras seven times.

Kieran Jones, 24, covered up his number place numerous times to avoid being caught speeding. The motorcyclist and former landscape gardener was first captured by a speed camera on the A22, reaching speeds as high as 80mph in a 30mph zone. The Roads Policing Unit arrested Jones in February 2024 after a sting operation.

He was disqualified from driving for three years, and ordered to complete 225 hours of unpaid work as part of a six-month suspended prison sentence. Jones was also ordered to complete 18 Rehabilitation Activity Requirement (RAR) sessions, with £85 costs and a £154 surcharge.

Sergeant Peter Swash from the Sussex Roads Policing Unit said: “Jones’s riding was highly reckless, travelling at grossly excessive speeds while concealing his registration plate in order to avoid detection. We are pleased that a dangerous rider has been taken off our roads.”
