Fleetwood Police lie in wait for ‘Barry Sheene’ biker seen racing the streets
“He gave it a go. He really did. But he made a big mistake”
Fleetwood Police seized an off road bike on Queens Terrace after two officers spotted it being ‘tested’.
PC’s Bower and Wetheraill from Wyre Task Force had seen the bike ‘busy racing the streets’ and waited for the moment to stop the ride.
Fleetwood Police said: “The male clearly fancied himself as a bit of a Barry Sheene - unfortunately he was more of a budget version and ended up being Barry Machine Seized!
“He gave it a go. He really did. But he made a big mistake and failed to notice the officers stood behind the fence.
“PCs Bower and Wetherill were challenging their inner ninjas, patiently waiting for an opportunity to pounce!”
“Their moment arrived and in the blink of an eye, he was in cuffs!”
The male was reported for no licence, no insurance and no helmet.
“If you want to ride, do it legally. Keep it to private land and remember - you never know who's behind the fence!”
