Police are appealing for information after a moped was stolen from outside an address in Heysham.

The theft took place around 5.30pm on Tuesday 19th March when the moped was stolen from the front of a house on Banks Crescent.

The moped is described as being a Generic Trigger MB in black with silver and white stickers all over the body work. The mud guards on the front and back also have a number 69 on them.

Police received reports of a moped described as similar riding around the Westgate area of Morecambe an hour after the offence occurred and it is a possibility that it could be linked.

“I’d appeal to anybody with any information about this theft or the whereabouts of the stolen moped to come forward and contact Lancashire Police on 101,” said PC Matt Entwistle from Morecambe Police. “The house it was stolen from faces onto the main road running through the town so it’s likely someone may have seen something.”
