Stolen Lambretta Scooter- Two Arrested

Earlier today, officers from your Doncaster East Neighbourhood Policing Team pursued a stolen motorbike which was being ridden by two youths after it failed to stop.

Following a brief pursuit, both males ditched the bike on Grampian Way in Thorne and tried to make their escape, the driver was detained at the scene and after a short foot chase the passenger was detained on Kirton Lane.

Initial enquiries show the Lambretta scooter was stolen in June this year from an address in Pontefract.

The driver and passenger are now in Police custody as enquiries continue.

Officers are proactively targeting these groups as part of ongoing efforts to tackle vehicle crime in this area.
