    Thieves abandoned a classic motorbike they'd stolen in Harrogate when they were unable to get it to start.

    According to North Yorkshire Police, the black Honda motorcycle was taken overnight from a home on King Edward’s Drive in Bilton.

    It was found the following day by the owner dumped at the back of nearby Cecil Street "due to the thieves being unable to start the bike", police said in a statement.

    The statement added:

    "However, the bike sustained damage that, due to its age and rarity, will be costly to repair."


    Officers are appealing for witnesses and information about the incident, which happened overnight between Sunday, July 2 and Monday, July 3.

    Anyone with information can email ben.robinson-brockhill@northyorkshirepolice.co.uk or dial 101, select option 2, and ask for Ben Robinson-Brockhill.

    If you wish to remain anonymous, you can pass information to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

    Quote reference number 12230123114.
