A fleet of police vehicles rushed to Long Leys Road in Lincoln in the early hours of the morning and arrested a local man after reports of an incident.

The force received reports at around 6.30am on Tuesday, August 22 that a vehicle was being attacked in the area.

Officers conducted a search and arrested a 35-year-old local man on suspicion of theft of fuel from Mawers Farm and of theft of a white Carrera racing bike.

An eyewitness said roughly ten police vehicles were parked on Long Leys Road adjacent to the West Common and officers were also in the common itself.

“We also would like anyone who is missing a white Carrer racing bike and lives in the Longs Leys Road / Albion Crescent area.

“Anyone with any information is asked to contact 101 quoting incident 49.
