Local officers located a stolen bike with the help of @DerbyshireRPU and the Police Dogs Stella, Alan & Stark and of course, their handlers. The KTM motorbike was reported stolen from Belper area around 8pm on Saturday evening.

Thankfully with the aid of the tracker on the bike, it assisted the officers in locating the bike which had been discarded by the offenders a short time before being discovered on some wasteland not far from Ilkeston. It was located within 1.5 hours from being reported stolen, however the officers had a lovely tour around Amber Valley and Erewash in the process.
