Following the theft of a motorcycle from Sandiacre at the weekend and a recent spate of similar thefts in and around Erewash, the motorcycle has now been recovered following a police pursuit. Derbyshire Constabulary and Nottinghamshire Constabulary worked jointly in the pursuit of a suspect and the motorcycle earlier this week assisted by a helicopter from National Police Air Service (NPAS).

The suspect was subsequently arrested in connection with the theft and also for several motoring offences, as a full investigation continues.

A spokesperson for Long Eaton Police SNT said: "Many thanks to all the members of the public who have co-operated and assisted with our enquiries so far."
