Police have deployed a helicopter and cars in Watford in response to a crime report.
Many locals spotted a police helicopter circling and “multiple” police cars patrolling near Croxley Common Moor this afternoon, after around 4pm.
Hertfordshire Constabulary has confirmed the National Police Air Service was deployed as part of the response to reports of a stolen motorcycle in the Croxley View area.

“Unfortunately, we cannot comment any further at this stage,” the force added.
Wayne, who was nearby, said: "I saw police car after police car heading down to Tolpits Lane behind the moors.
"The helicopter had been sweeping the area in large circles, it looked like something serious had happened or was going on."
Another man described seeing "Old Bill cars rushing around left and right" near the moors.
Videos of the helicopters and cars have been posted online.
The Watford Observer will provide an update once police are able to give more information on the incident.
