Members from VIPER Taskforce have charged a Narre Warren man after he allegedly performed a mono in front of an unmarked police car on 24 November.

VIPER officers observed the motorcycle driving erratically along Fountain Drive, Narre Warren about 1.30pm when the rider decided to lift the front wheel of the bike off the ground for a short distance.

Police followed the bike for approximately 100 metres before it pulled into a driveway where it was intercepted by police.
