Merseyside Police carrying out 'Operation Needle'
Two TT visitors have been reunited with their motorbikes after they were almost stolen earlier this week.
Traffic officers in Liverpool say they went in pursuit of the offenders after receiving reports of an attempted theft.
Operation Needle works to prevent the theft of bikes passing through the North West city on their way to the Isle of Man.
Sergeant Garreth Berry is from Merseyside Police:
After receiving a report of two attempted bike thefts earlier this week, we were quickly on scene and in pursuit of the offenders.
