The teenager, who cannot be named for legal reasons, appeared at Falkirk Sheriff Court last Thursday having pleaded guilty to failing to stop for officers and driving the motorcycle without lawful authority and without insurance on Hallam Road, Stenhousemuir on April 24 last year.
The court heard the 17-year-old, who comes from the Stenhousemuir area, was not doing too well with the structured deferred sentence he received as punishment for committing the offence in 2021.
