Officers investigating the theft of a motorcycle in Ilkeston are appealing for the public’s help.

The red Kawasaki EN500 motorcycle was stolen from a house in Park Road, at around 1am on 8th January.

The bike was found later the same day dumped on the Pewitt Golf Course and has subsequently been returned to its owner.

CCTV from the area where the bike was stolen captured two people stealing the bike.

While the pair pictured are not able to be identified due to covering their faces we are hoping that people may recognise their clothing – or saw them in the area at the time of the incident.
