Arrest made within 24 hours after motorbike stolen at knifepoint

On Sunday 2 July, a 19-year-old man from Nuneaton was arrested on suspicion of robbery.

This follows an incident the previous evening, in which a motorbike was reportedly stolen from outside Dempster Court at knifepoint.

Enhanced officers initiated a search for the motorbike.

On Sunday, the bike and rider were spotted, and the vehicle was brought to a controlled stop.

The 19-year-old was then arrested and has since been released pending further investigation.

Sergeant Ryan Price said “The stolen bike was recovered and a suspect arrested in under 24 hours – a great result for police in Nuneaton.

“Violent crime will always be met with a swift response – we will not tolerate it in our communities.”
