POLICE RECOVER DOZENS OF MOTORBIKES ON TRAIL OF THIEVES

Police believe they are closing in on a group of busy trailbike thieves, with dozens of machines recovered in a raid. Newcastle City specialist operations group swooped on a North Arm Cover property last Friday. They believe it is one of several hideouts where stolen machines are held before being offloaded.

They seized more then 20 trailbikes, three quadbikes, a $65,000 caravan, two trailers and an assortment of trailbike equipment, tools and generators.

Officers raided a Mayfield property on Monday night in a related operation. Although they are yet to lay charges , arrests appear imminent.

Several hundred trail bikes have been stolen accross the Hunter since the beginning of 2009. "It would be fair to say there has been well over 100 (trailbikes stolen) in the Newcastle area alone, let alone counting Lake Macquarie and the rest of the Hunter," crime manager Detective Chief Inspector Brad Tayler said yesterday.

Police are working to identify owners of the seized trail bikes.
