The black bike was discovered by an officer from West Yorkshire Police's Steerside Enforcement Team - the force's dedicated initiative for tackling anti-social and dangerous driving - in the Bradford East area yesterday afternoon.

"We have been on the look-out ever since.

"Recovered today by a Steerside officer from the Bradford East area - owner informed.
