POLICE found a stolen motorbike "casually lounging" in bushes.

West Yorkshire Police's Leeds West Neighbourhood Policing Team (NPT) said it was called about a motorbike that had been found in bushes, in a Bramley ginnel.

Officers from the Leeds District Off-Road Bike Team went to the area and found a tan and black coloured Sinnis motorcycle in foliage there.

Checks showed the bike had been stolen from Guiseley the day before.

A spokesperson for the Leeds West NPT said: "We got a call about a motorbike casually lounging in some bushes in a ginnel in Bramley.

"Officers from the Leeds District Off-Road Bike Team swooped in and found the bike, which turned out to be stolen just the day before from Guiseley.

"The bike has now been recovered and is waiting for CSI."
