A WOMAN was hurt as she heroically stopped two thieves stealing a motorbike from a Kidderminster pub car park - but they came back to pinch the bike later anyway.

Police say the woman received a 'minor injury to her arm' after preventing two men on a scooter stealing the silver Yamaha from The Island Pool car park on Wolverhampton Road, Cookley, on Sunday, September 27.

The incident happened around midday and the two men fled - but returned a few minutes later to steal the bike.

They were seen to have made off towards Wolverhampton with the vehicle, registration MT10 SAM.

The two men are described as both around 5ft 11ins tall, of medium build, wearing green biker jackets and dark coloured helmets.

Anyone with any information or who has seen the pictured motorcycle since Sunday should call DC Sarah Bytheway on 01562 826192, quoting reference 22/82683/20.
