The pillion passenger was detained by the police a short distance away and was arrested on suspicion of taking a vehicle without consent and allowing to be carried.

The rider of the motorcycle was detained by a member of the public in Church Road and then arrested by officers on suspicion of theft of a motor vehicle and being disqualified from driving.
