Coventry teenager arrested following theft of Nuneaton motorbike
Main article content
A 17-year-old boy from Coventry has been arrested on suspicion of handling stolen goods, interfering with a motor vehicle, and theft from a vehicle.
This follows three incidents from over the past three months:
On 4 March 2024 at around 12:30pm, two men reportedly arrived on the back of a green Kawasaki motorbike at a car park on Prologis Park in Coventry and allegedly attempted to gain entry to a car by using a screwdriver on the lock.
On 20 March, a Benneli motorbike was allegedly stolen from where it was parked outside of a house on Galba Avenue in Nuneaton by a group of males, who were reportedly caught on CCTV.
On 9 May, a green Kawasaki motorbike reportedly appeared on an online marketplace – the bike allegedly matched the description of one that had been reported stolen from the Thames Valley Police area.
The seller had reportedly given his address and name in the listing.
PC Loveridge on Nuneaton Safer Neighbourhood Team said “We are aware of issues around motorbike-based thefts and anti-social behaviour around Nuneaton and Bedworth borough, and we’re working hard to identify and address those we believe responsible.
“Every report we get from the community gives us one more point of data we can use to track them down, so keep them coming.”
