Merseyside officers 'working hard' to disrupt motorcycle theft

Operation Needle ongoing

Police in Merseyside say they’re continuing to work hard to prevent the theft of motorcycles.

Officers say they want to reassure motorcyclists and visitors – many of whom are travelling to the Island from Liverpool – that they are safe.

Earlier this week two German visitors – who were en route to the TT – had their bikes stolen in Walton; they have since been reunited with them.  

Operation Needle works to disrupt and identify those involved in the theft of and from motorcycles.
