UPDATED : three arrested and quad recoveredRichmondshire

Three men have been arrested and a stolen quadbike recovered.

Yesterday we issued an appeal follwing the theft of a quadbike from the Richmondshire area. 

Thanks to some quick-time enquiries by local officers, the out of date tracker on the vehicle was reactivated and tracked to car park in Darlington. 

Officers attended the area where they found a Ford Transit linked to the burglary and arrested a 22-year-old Darlington man on suspicion of burglary.

Officers then traced another Ford Transit van, believed to have picked up the quadbike from Darlington, travelling south on the A1.

With help from Durham Constabulary who joined the pursuit alongside officers from our Specialist Operations team, the van was intercepted on the A1 near Dishforth and the stolen quadbike was found inside along with a motorbike. 

Two men inside the vehicle aged 49 and 21, from Bradford were arrested on suspicion of theft. 

All three have been releaed on conditional police bail to allow for further enquries to be carried out.
