Two people have been arrested after an off-duty police officer spotted a suspicious van carrying two quadbikes.
The officer called his colleagues at around 9.30pm yesterday, November 2, that he had seen the vehicle and officers quickly flooded the area.
It was stopped at about 9:40pm on Northside Road in Workington.
A 31-year-old man from Pontefract was arrested last night on suspicion of receiving stolen goods. He remains in police custody.
Officers have made a further arrest today, November 3, of a 32-year-old man from Workington on suspicion of burglary. He remains in custody.
The two quadbikes recovered are believed to be those stolen from two farms reported earlier in the day from farms in the Keswick area.
