A stolen quad bike has been recovered near Tidworth, and the force now want to return it to it's owner.
At around 4pm on Monday (4th January) an officer was following what was believed to be a stolen vehicle along the A3026 from Tidworth to Ludgershall.
The bike turned off into Eden Road and onto an un-named track leading up to Sweet Apple Farm.
The rider of the vehicle then got off and ran into the small copse at the end of the road, heading in the direction of the A338 along the tank track.
That's where officers were able to recover the bike which had no registration plates and is black in colour.

They want more information on the suspect who is described as:
- Wearing dark trousers and navy anorak
- Approximately 5ft 10 inches tall
- Very slim build
- Not wearing a cycle helmet
