A MAN has been arrested after two stolen motorbikes were tracked by police.
The owner of one of the stolen motorcycles reported that a tracker showed the vehicle moving north out of Brighton on the A23 on Wednesday, March 23.
Several vehicles were stopped and searched by officers from the Specialist Enforcement Unit, Sussex Dog Section and Surrey and Sussex Roads Policing Unit.
However, the tracking device alerted officers that the suspect’s vehicle was in Coulsdon.
Officers monitored the vehicle’s progress, and with the support from the Metropolitan Police, the vehicle was stopped in London Road, Croydon, shortly after 7pm.
Inside the van, police found two motorbikes which had been reported stolen from Hereford Street, Brighton, and Palmeira Square, Hove.
A 48-year-old man from Croydon was arrested on suspicion of the theft of two motor vehicles and was taken to custody in Brighton, where he remains.
