What is a stolen dirt bike?
A dirt bike, like the one Christian Fuentes was riding, is a lightweight motorcycle designed for off-road riding on unpaved surfaces. When stolen, these bikes can be used for joyriding, further crimes, or even stripped for parts. The theft itself is a crime, and using a stolen vehicle during a police chase adds further charges.
