Two teenagers have been arrested after a motorbike was stolen in Nelson.

The motorbike was spotted by officers in the Hapton area, just outside Accrington this morning. The search ended on Accrington Road, at around 11.10am, police said.

Two boys, age 19 and 13, were arrested on suspicion of aggravated vehicle taking.

Residents complained of hearing ‘loud bangs’ this morning which may have been the sound of the motorbike.
