The officers then waited in Toothill Road car park for the riders to return and arrested two men at around 12.50pm on Tuesday, January 9.

The bikes were seized while investigations continue.

Both suspects, of Springfield Avenue, Shirebrook, are due to appear at Mansfield Magistrates’ Court on January 30.

Sergeant Alice Bartle, of the Mansfield town centre policing team, said: “We regularly carry out plain-clothed patrols which allow our officers to operate in a less conspicuous way.

“Thanks to some really efficient teamwork with a council CCTV operator we were quickly able to detain these two suspects and seize these bikes.”

The patrols will continue.
