A man has been arrested and a stolen motorcycle recovered after National Police Air Service helicopter assisted Derbyshire officers.

Following the theft of a motorcycle from Sandiacre at the weekend and a recent spate of similar thefts in and around Erewash, the motorcycle has now been recovered following a police pursuit.

Derbyshire Constabulary and Nottinghamshire Constabulary worked jointly in the pursuit of a suspect and the motorcycle earlier this week assisted by a helicopter from National Police Air Service (NPAS).
