THE owner of a motorbike which was stolen from outside a house in a small village is offering a cash reward for information for the arrest and conviction of those responsible.

The black Honda CBR 125 motorcycle was taken from a property on Foxton View, in Ellerbeck, near Northallerton, between 10.30pm and 11pm on Sunday (November 9).

The bike, which has the registration number NX58 VSG, only has the rider’s right mirror attached and has scratches on the left-hand side of the bodywork.

There is also a deep two-inch scratch on the front panel.

The motorbike's owner believes the thieves must have loaded it on to another vehicle before driving it away.

Anyone with information should call police on 101, email gavin.dobson@northyorkshire.pnn.police.uk or Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800-555-111.
