THREE people have been arrested on suspicion of theft of a motor vehicle in Bradford.

A black Audi A3 was stolen from an address on Wrose Road in the early hours of the morning, as the owners were asleep but were alerted by the sounds of their dog barking.

On the same day, August 19, police officers on patrol in Idle were approached by a member of the public, who said he had just seen several people run away from a black Audi A3, which he thought was suspicious.

Both officers chased the three individuals who were detained.

The vehicle was confirmed to be the one stolen in the burglary earlier and was on false registration plates.

The police investigation is ongoing.
