Three teenagers have been arrested in Top Valley after a moped was reported as stolen.
Officers conducting proactive patrols sighted three youths riding a stolen moped on Beckhampton Road at around 7pm last Wednesday (November 3).
After a short pursuit officers then found the abandoned moped and quickly arrested one of the teenagers at the scene.
Further enquires later led to the arrest of the other two suspects.
Three boys aged 13, 16 and 17, were arrested on suspicion of theft of a motorcycle, going equipped for theft and possession of a bladed article.
The 13-year-old boy was also arrested on suspicion of assault, two counts of robbery and three counts of theft.
The 16-year-old suspect was also arrested for possession of cannabis.
All three have since been released on bail with conditions.
PC John Cross, of the city north Operation Reacher team, said: “We received a report of a stolen moped and after a short pursuit found it abandoned but were able to act very quickly and detain one suspect at the scene.
“The further two suspect were also then tracked down and arrested.
“We are now investigating this incident and our enquires are on going but we would like to urge anyone who may have witnessed what happened to get in touch.”
