A teenager has been jailed after police spotted him riding a stolen mini moto whilst holding a stolen air rifle.
The culprit, Bobby Lee Maguire, aged 18 was found riding the mini moto armed with the rifle hours after they have been stolen. The items were taken in a raid at Holmfield auto spares.
Bobbly Lee was chased for several minutes on the mini moto before finally being arrested at around 7.40pm.
Although found with the stolen goods, Maguire denied being part of the robbery, and said that he had 'bought the vehicle andthe weapon off a man at a scrapyard for £80', even though a 14 year old boy, admitting to carrying out the offence had already said that Maguire had helped him.
Maguire was sentenced to 12 weeks in prison for the offences including driving whilst disqualified and driving without insurance, as well as a further 20 consecutive weeks for breaking the conditions of his suspended sentence.
