A resident had called to report an abandoned vehicle in Outermarch Road in Radford. Officers checked and it was found to have been stolen from Finham.

They recovered the Ford car at the weekend. Further investigations are now taking place

During the same shift, another vehicle was recovered after it was reported by a resident on Nod Rise. Police say the motorbike was stolen only the night before from the Xcel Centre in Canley.
