FIVE-year-old girl may have become Victoria's youngest hoon after her mini motorbike was seized at the weekend.


Police impounded Laney Frankland’s 49CC bike on Saturday afternoon when she was riding it at a Carrum Downs park.

The family must pay $550 within seven days to get the bike back, but even if they cough up it will not be returned for six months.

If the family does not pay, the bike, which they paid $400 for, will not be returned.

They say they have not yet decided what to do.

Laney’s mother, Tracey Frankland, said her daughter was hysterical when police took the bike.

"She was crying when the police were there,’’ Mrs Frankland said.

"They didn’t give any sympathy. I think they’ve just gone overboard."

From what "I" heard (rumours) the police asked the father of the little girl to stop... He made it very clear that he was not intending on stopping any time soon, that is when they confiscated the bike..

The dad then whinged to the papers about it...

Very unaustralian...

A real australian would have said "Absolutely officer" and packed up the bike and come back an hour later

So you're saying the "father" was riding it yet the article says the girl was riding it.. either way, how much hooning can you do on a 49cc mini bike??

Jesus it's getting so bad......soon you won't even be able to have a beer in public......Doh!!! You can't

this was on ACA... its a total beat up, sure id prolly have a go at riding a mini bike in a park, but if the coppa turned up i would indeed go home... what they were doing was illegal... so if ya get caught , just cop it on the chin!!!

hmmmmmmmmmmmm...over regulation or pit bike annoyance...hard call

No, the girl was riding it... the police asked the father to pack it up and go home... and he made it clear to them that he had no intention of doing that...

Fuck Big Brother and the Horse he rode in on!
orf we goo agen

Given the fact they'd effectively told him to move on, and he told them where to stick it. I'm siding with the coppers on this one.
Dickhead.

I'm sick of the kids around here on their little fucken bikes. I don't blame the kids though, I blame the inbred, halfwitted, irresponsible parents. If you're going to buy your kid a bike to ride then make sure they have somewhere to ride the damned thing - and no, the public road ISN'T somewhere to ride it.

Can you tell that to the dickhead on my street yesterday hammering up and down in the wet on a WR450 - with no lights, rego, kit or brains in use.
