Cop ambushes motorcycle thief

a quick-thinking Newcastle cop hides behind a path lamppost to ambush a teenage thief off a stolen motorbike. The incident was filmed in the city of Newcastle at around 5.30pm on 5th August. The Northumbria Police said on Facebook: “Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it’s our very own PC Adam Fegan! “This the dramatic moment a teenage motorcycle thief met his downfall in the form of our quick-thinking cop. “The light-fingered 17-year-old was snared by PC Fegan after leading traffic officers on a high speed pursuit through Newcastle in August. “He had swiped a Honda PCX from outside a Whitley Bay care home, but failed to realise it had been fitted with a tracker.” The owner tipped police to its whereabouts and motor patrols swooped. The teenager, who cannot be named as he is under 18, panicked and put his foot down, sparking a cat and mouse chase across Newcastle.
