Officers used a red dot from a Taser to detain a brazen biker who "goaded officers".
While patrolling Snodland earlier today, Kent Police's Roads Units (RPU) pursued the rider who abandoned his bikes and made off through the fields.
After catching up with him and stopping him after displaying the red dot from a Taser, drugs were found during a search.
Kent Police's RPU said: "Rider ran out of talent after goading officers and had to abandon his bike before running through fields.
"He was detained with red dot from a Taser.
"Cannabis located during search. He also has no insurance and a provisional licence."
One villager commented: "Great work; they are an absolute nuisance in this area and other villages."
It comes after many reports in the village about anti-social and nuisance behaviour.
Earlier this year Domino's, a village café and care home were targeted by a group of yobs.
