A teenager from Lichfield has been arrested after an attempt to steal a motorbike in Burntwood.
Police were called to reports of two masked men trying car door handles at 1.50am on Saturday (28th January).
A Staffordshire Police spokesperson said:
“They ran away when nearby officers turned up at the scene, but we caught up with one of them. He was carrying a bag with a number of items inside, including bolt and wire cutters.
“While searching the area, we also discovered that a motorbike chain had been cut off and a rucksack had been left behind containing a crowbar and rubber gloves.
“A 16-year-old boy, from Lichfield, was arrested on suspicion of attempted vehicle theft and going equipped for vehicle theft. He has since been released on conditional police bail while inquiries continue.”
