Dozens of Long Island Motorcyclists Arrested After Leading Cops on Chase

The motorcyclists spread out and fled between Bay Shore and West Babylon

Dozens of motorcyclists were arrested after leading police on a chase in Long Island Sunday afternoon, according to officials, after several 911 callers reported that a crowd of 20 to 50 were driving recklessly.

Police said they responded to reports of bikers causing a disturbance on Sunrise Avenue at Deer Park Avenue and the motorcyclists spread out and fled between Bay Shore and West Babylon.

Authorities said they arrested more than 30 people -- most of them for trespassing after congregating behind a municipal building in Bay Shore. Seven faced serious charges that included reckless driving, resisting arrest and driving under the influence.
