“Both males detained. One bike confirmed stolen, the other clearly a pool bike for our clients. Enquiries ongoing.”
In a separate incident in Balby, police also seized a bike with a spokesman saying: “Lots of reports recently of bikes with balaclava clad youths on terrorising residents.
"This one was intercepted and taken off them. Stolen last August from Humberside.
"We will not stop pursuing those who insist on breaking the law on these machines.”
