Police arrested two men over a moped theft and riding electric bikes “dangerously” around North Watford in the middle of the night.

Yesterday (September 23), the force confirmed on social media that on-patrol officers received reports of “Sur-Ron” bikes being ridden dangerously in the area at around 1.50am on September 9.

They searched Bushey Mill Lane following sightings of the bikes, where they found two of them as well as a moped.

Officers detained two men there whilst two further suspects fled the scene on Sur-Ron bikes.

After visiting the moped's owner, police established it had been taken from their driveway and it was returned to them, while the two Sur-Ron bikes were also later recovered.

A 27-year-old man from Watford was arrested on suspicion of theft of a motor vehicle, driving whilst disqualified and driving without insurance.

A 29-year-old man from London was arrested on suspicion of theft of motor vehicle, possession of class B or C drugs, driving without insurance and driving whilst disqualified.

Both men have been released on police bail whilst enquiries continue.

Any information can be reported on 101 or via the police website, quoting crime reference 41/75048/24.
