WEST Yorkshire Police have recovered a quad bike in Bradford that had been stolen outside the district.

Officers found the quad in the Thorpe Edge area of Bradford following reports of "nuisance bikes", on Friday afternoon. 

It was then established that the quad-bike had been stolen from an address in North Yorkshire.

The quad was sent for forensic assesment and enquiries are ongoing.

A spokesperson said: "[The quad is] now on its way back to its rightful owner and hopefully bringing a bit of peace and quiet to the streets of Bradford."
