Officers have seized five motorbikes they believe to have been stolen from in and around the Bristol area.

Alongside the seizures, they arrested a man in his thirties on suspicion of theft of a motor vehicle and possession of an offensive weapon.

We were made aware of a group of individuals riding bikes and acting in a threatening manner in and around the Clifton area in Bristol yesterday (Wednesday 24 June).

Officers were deployed and their investigations identified an address in North Somerset.

Following a search of a property, five bikes and a bladed article were seized from inside the property and a 36-year-old man was arrested.

He was taken into custody and questioned before being released on conditional bail for enquiries to continue.
