A man is desperate to get his treasured scooter back after it was stolen from near his parents’ house.

Trevor Cannon’s Aprilia SR125 was pinched from Canadian Avenue, Gillingham, between 12.30am and 8.15am on Sunday.

He said: “I found tyre tracks just around the corner from me on Woodlands Road park where they must have got it running.

“Someone around that park must have heard something because the scooter is not quiet.

“Please, anyone who lives around here check your CCTV and if you have captured anything I will happily pick it up and hand it to the police with a little reward for your time.”

A police spokesman said: “It was reported that a motorbike was stolen from outside a home in Canadian Avenue, Gillingham.

“The bike was said to have been secured to another vehicle when it was stolen. Inquiries are ongoing.”

The vehicle is coloured red and black and the number plate is W514 ULE.

Anyone with information that could help Mr Cannon, should call him on 07791 265020.
