This is the dramatic moment police arrested a suspected bike thief at a petrol station in Stockport.
The 14-year-old was taken into custody after police on patrol in an unmarked car spotted the off-road bike being ridden by three lads wearing balaclavas. They followed the motorcycle, which had no number plates, to a petrol station on Marple Road, Offerton, before arresting the teenaged on suspicion of theft of a motor vehicle, handling stolen goods, and possession of a presumed class B drug.
He has since been bailed pending further enquiries. The arrest took place around 2pm on Tuesday.
The bike is believed to have been taken around a week earlier.

Catch them early!
14? Jesus christ
Looks like 2 girl coppers nicked them,well done girls,those lads are gonna get serious grief of the other gang members 😂😂😂
The other 2 got away, should have waited for backup.
Only in the UK will you have 2 female officers catch 2 14 year old boys only for 1 of them to run away because the other officer needs help controlling a boy and call it a win.
What's dramatic about the way they handled them ? May be they should have politely ask them to follow them to the police station and have a tea together ? Hate those stupid atttention grabing headlines
By two women no less. Good job ladies.
Why did the garage allow them to fill up the bike, they were assisting criminals and this should be stopped, they could use the anpr system to check if a vehicle is legal quite easily and not allow the pump to dispense fuel but it seems profit overrides the safety of the public.
