WITNESSES who saw a man riding a motocross bike with 'no trousers' are being sought after it was reported stolen from a South Lakeland farm.

A Cumbria Constabulary spokesman said the bike was taken at Crosthwaite yesterday evening.

He said the vehicle, a red-coloured Honda CRF250X, was taken at around 8.50pm and was seen 'in the area of Milnthorpe' at 9.50pm.

He said: "Police are appealing for any witnesses who have seen a man wearing a black bobble hat, a green jacket and no trousers."
