The brief chase came to an end just north of Rainbow Valley Boulevard on Saturday, creating a snarl of traffic as the 13 motorcyclists were arrested off the side of the 15 Freeway.
More than a dozen motorcyclists were arrested in Temecula on Saturday after they allegedly led deputies on a brief pursuit. It happened at around 1 p.m., when deputies with the Riverside County Sheriff's Department's Southwest Station were patrolling near Rancho California Road and Diaz Road and spotted a large group of motorcyclists, according to a statement from the department.
When deputies tried to pull the group over, the suspects instead rode away from them starting a short chase that ended just north of Rainbow Valley Boulevard, RSO's statement said. Because of the large group of motorcyclists, additional deputies, officers with the Murrieta Police Department and Riverside County's Gang Task Force were called to the area. While the arrests occurred, two lanes of traffic were temporarily closed.
