An investigation is underway tonight after police attending a reported break-in at a business in Bradford city centre discovered a stolen car and expensive vehicle parts.

Officers swooped on the business at the junction of Peckover Street and Burnett Street, Little Germany, at about 4pm today and seized a black Audi A3, which is believed to have been stolen from the Pudsey area.

Police found the car in an underground car park while investigating reports of a break-in at 10.20pm yesterday.

They also loaded other parts for expensive cars onto the back of two flat-bed lorries.

The parts were taken away for examination.
