Suspected stolen motorbike recovered in Harrogate - Can you help?

Response officers in Harrogate have recovered a motorbike in Harrogate today which we suspect is possibly stolen.

We attempted to stop the bike on Dragon Parade at just before 12pm. The single occupant abandoned it in the street and made off from us. A 13-year-old boy was arrested on suspicion of theft of a motor vehicle and possession of a class – A  and a class – B drug.

He currently remains in custody.

We have carried our various checks on the bike but currently we are unable to identify its owner.
