| Merseyside Police have 
recovered 2 stolen motorcycles in Ainsdale 
 THE bikes were found after a tracking 
device was activated by the owner of a Yamaha bike which was stolen from outside 
a property in Carnarvon Road, Southport, on Tuesday, 18 August 2015. Officers 
used the tracking device to trace the bike to a road in Ainsdale, where Officers 
found an unattended white van. Inside the van they discovered 2 bikes. The 1st 
bike was the Yamaha and the 2nd was later identified as a specialised off road 
grass track bike which has been taken from outside a property on Redgate, Formby 
in the early hours of Sunday, 16 August 2015. A forensic examination of both 
bikes and the van have been carried out. Enquiries into the thefts are ongoing.  
Inspector Jim Atherton said:- "The purchasing of additional vehicle 
security will ideally prevent its theft and tracking equipment can lead to its 
swift recovery and offenders being brought to justice."  Anyone 
with any information is asked to contact Merseyside Police on 101 or the 
confidential Crimestoppers line on:- 0800 555 111. |
