A QUANTITY of suspected stolen goods was recovered following a police pursuit yesterday. 


At around 4.50am a white Ford Transit van was seen travelling in the Bolton-le-Sands area by police.


Officers said they attempted to stop the vehicle, which made off at speed towards Kirkby Lonsdale before rolling on to its side in a field.


Officers added that following an investigation the van was believed to have been stolen from Morecambe.


A number of bicycles, gas-powered trial bikes, bolt cutters and tools – all suspected as stolen – were found inside the van.


Police said a man was later arrested in a barn close to where the vehicle left the road.
