Biker discovers motorcycle missing after Leeds drug dealer posts videos online

A biker from Kippax, Leeds, is thought to have been reunited with his motorcycle after it was stolen by a young drug dealer. 

Christian Hargreaves stole the motorcycle before posting a video of himself riding it online, which fortunately was seen by the bike’s lawful owner. 

According to the Yorkshire Evening Post, the biker was able to identify Hargreaves as the criminal that stole the motorcycle.

Hargreaves agreed to meet with the bike’s owner to hand over the stolen motorcycle on Brigshaw Lane, in Kippax.

But the 18-year-old, who turned up in a vehicle, then fled the scene at speed before being arrested by police. 

It’s believed that Hargreaves acted in an abusive way towards police officers, while denying the charges.

However, Hargreaves later admitted to three counts of dealing in drugs, assaulting an emergency worker, theft of the bike, driving while banned and without insurance, and two counts of failing to provide a sample for drug testing. 

Hargreaves was handed a 32-month sentence and a driving ban of three years and four months by judge Christopher Batty.

He also has three previous convictions for six offences, including violence and public disorder.

According to the report, most of the offences were committed when the 18-year-old was a youth, something his legal team tried to use as a defence.
