A miniature motorcycle rider has a large bill to pay to get the bike back from police.
Greater Dandenong Highway Patrol members saw the 23-year-old on the mini bike on a footpath approaching the South Eastern Private Hospital on the weekend of 17 and 18 February.
They said there were several pedestrians, including a family with small children.
They intercepted the rider, who told them he was just going to see a friend.
Police impounded the bike for 30 days at a cost of $969.80.
The rider is facing charges of riding a miniature motorcycle on a road-related area, unlicensed driving, using an unregistered motor vehicle, driving a motor vehicle on the footpath, and using a vehicle not complying with the standards for registration.
