A £50,000 custom-built chopper stolen in Texas last year from Hollywood screenwriter Skip Woods has been recovered in the southern Philippines, 7,500 miles away.

Woods, a collector of custom-made vehicles, wrote the screenplays for Swordfish, Hitman and X-Men Origins: Wolverine.

His chopper was among 14 motorcycles, three ATVs, two SUVs, a sports car, a shotgun and ammunition for assault rifles recovered by police in raids in Cagayan de Oro, Phillipines.

Police are looking for a Filipino who was selling the motorcycle online. The man also faces illegal firearms possession and smuggling charges.
