Dear Resident,

Last week, officers were in Redmile Walk in Welland when they heard two motorbikes riding along the footpath.

One of the riders, a man in his 20s, was stopped and after a short foot chase, he was arrested on suspicion of:

⛓Taking a vehicle without the owner’s consent

⛓Possession of an offensive weapon

⛓Possession of cannabis

⛓Possession of a firearm

⛓Driving without insurance

⛓Driving without a licence

He has since been bailed until May while we carry out further enquiries.

Checks on the motorbike found that it had been stolen from Cardea in October! The vehicle has been seized and the owner notified.

We are aware of concerns about anti-social vehicle use involving motorbikes in the area. If you have any concerns about anti-social vehicle use in your area, let us know here.

Kind regards,
