Stolen Bike Recovered - Near You - Idle Area

Dear Resident,

On 16/06/2026, whilst on foot patrol in the Idle area of Bradford East, PCSO 417 Briggs and PCSO 032 Hall encountered a group of youths who were acting suspiciously. Upon noticing the officers, the group made off from the area, leaving behind a moped.

Following enquiries and checks on the moped, officers confirmed their suspicions that the bike had been reported stolen.

The moped has since been recovered by West Yorkshire Police, and the owner has been informed.
