Officers arranged for the bike to be towed away to a police compound following an incident in Grimethorpe yesterday.

A South Yorkshire Police spokesman said: "Officers have today seized this illegal, nuisance bike from the streets of Grimethorpe.

"In our opinion, he was lucky to only lose his bike today."
