A motorcycle stolen earlier this week has been recovered.

The Yamaha bike was stolen from High Street in Rickmansworth shortly after midnight on September 5 and officers spotted the bike being ridden by two people on Uxbridge Road on September 12.

Hertfordshire Constabulary signalled for a stop, at which point the two people abandoned the bike and ran off.

A police helicopter and dog unit searched the area with police and a 20 year-old man from Harefield was arrested on suspicion of theft, but has since been released under investigation.
