Despite there being significantly less vehicles on the road, the rider of this bike thought it would be a good idea to ride around with no insurance, thinking officers wouldn’t bother to check.... bike seized and driver reported - PC Baker & PC Lloyd
After a short foot chase in the town centre tonight by team 2 officers, these weapons were found in a manbag which the offender tried to hide. Nothing gets passed PCSO Bahia who spotted the hiding place..... Good result!
