The team was out on patrol in the Basingstoke area this week and located the vehicles in various parts of the town.

Later that evening, a second motorbike (top left picture) was seized by officers following an incident on Blackdown Close, Buckskin.

Officers launched an investigation and local District Policing Team (DPT) officers arrested a woman on a motorbike in War Memorial Park. An officer was then assaulted during the interview.

Chelsea Joyce Williams, 24, of Woolford Way, Basingstoke, has since been charged with driving a vehicle otherwise than in accordance with a licence, using a vehicle without third party insurance, assault by beating of an emergency worker and criminal damage.

She is due to appear at Basingstoke Magistrates Court today (17 October).

Meanwhile, at around 12.30pm on Wednesday 16 October, the team searched a garage at a different address on Woolford Way and located and seized a BMW motorbike believed to have been stolen (top right picture).
