About 11.30am on Tuesday, Riverina Highway Patrol officers received information that a black motorcycle was detected allegedly travelling at 205km/h on the Hume Highway, and then the Olympic Highway at Table Top.
Police initiated a pursuit which was terminated soon afterwards due to safety concerns. The motorcycle was found abandoned a short time later in Wagga.
A search of the area with the assistance of the Dog Unit located the rider, who was arrested and taken to Wagga Police Station.
