Police officers successfully intercepted a 'stolen' moped which was being driven ‘recklessly’ across parts of Plymouth last night (4 September).

The motorcycle was seen speeding through Plymouth City Centre and even mounting the pavement at times.

Throughout the incident two people were on board the 125cc moped - a white Aprilia Mojito.
