A group of bike-riding yobs made off with a stolen motorbike in a brazen and reckless stunt that unfolded in broad daylight, as they took it from the back of a moving truck.

The shameless theft involved three men on two motocross bikes, who approached the vehicle before untying and stealing the third bike, which had been secured to the back of the truck.

The incident occurred at the Accrington Road and Shadsworth Road junction in Blackburn.

Quickly getting away, the three men rode away from the area as traffic began to build.

Unable to get the stolen bike to start two of the men pushed another along the main road, being followed by the truck.

Lancashire Police have been contacted for more information.
