TWO males were arrested in relation to a robbery and a couple of theft offences after motorbikes were stolen.

Police say the bikes were reportedly stolen by a group of males luring victims to the Tong area and arranging fake sales.

Officers say the victim was threatened with violence and injury before the bikes were stolen from them and no payment was made.

Despite house searches, the two bikes (below) have not yet been located and are still outstanding stolen.

A spokesperson from the force said: "Bradford South NPT Team 2 is committed to dealing with this type of crime as it affects the lives of our communities in the Tong Ward and surrounding areas. 

"Thanks for all your information, without which we couldn't do our jobs."

Tong Ward Councillor Matt Edwards (Green Party) said: “The Tong Ward Neighbourhood Policing Team have been doing some excellent work tackling motorbike theft and the linked anti-social use of them - particularly in Bierley and Holmewood.

"This is the latest in a long line of success they've had in recent weeks and I know they are continuing to work on this as one of their top priority."
