We are appealing for witnesses after motorbikes were targeted by thieves in Newcastle-under-Lyme.
At around 3.45am, on Saturday (30 November), two people tried to steal a motorbike on Bailey Street. The vehicle was found by its owner a short distance away after the suspects failed to start it.
Then, at around 5am, two people tried to steal a moped on Stuart Grove. This was abandoned nearby.
The suspects are described as two men wearing dark clothing. One of them had a reflective strip across the upper back chest area.
Anyone with CCTV, particularly around the Hempstalls Lane area, is urged to contact us on 101 quoting incidents 193 and 357 of 30 November, or via Live Chat on our website.
