Taunton Police now have a new weapon in their fight against crime.

Olds Garage in Cross Keys kindly donated a bike to PCSO Rowley Craddock and PC Scott Burton so they can chase offenders on their beat in Norton Fitzwarren.

Shaun Cregan from Taunton Police said: "It's easier for them to chase people on bikes. It's already proved successful. They have chased and caught people because they think they won't get caught by a bike."
