Three arrests after motorcycles stolen from outside pub

Three men have been arrested after three high value motorbikes were stolen from outside a Heysham pub.

Police were called at around 11.45pm on Tuesday to reports that the three bikes had been taken from outside the Royal Hotel on Main Street. 

The bikes were later loaded into a Vauxhall Vivaro van.

Police were able to locate the van and stopped it on the M58 close to junction one. Two bikes were recovered at the scene. Enquires are ongoing to locate the third one.

Three men were arrested at the scene. Two of them – aged 23 and from Liverpool and aged 25 from Bootle – were arrested on suspicion of theft of a motor vehicle.

A 33-year-old man from Litherland was arrested on suspicion of theft from a vehicle.

All three remain in custody and enquiries are ongoing.

Sgt Peter Snook, of the Lancashire Police TacOps team, said: “We hope this sends a message that we take reports of this nature seriously and will do everything in our power to recover stolen property so it can be returned to its rightful owners.

“As always, we would urge anybody with information about vehicle crime to report it to us on 101, or report it online at doitonline.lancashire.police.uk.”
