A red and white 1000cc Yamaha motorcycle was stolen from Newsons Meadow between 11.45pm on Monday and 12.40am yesterday.

It was later found abandoned in the front car park at Lowestoft College. It appears an attempt had been made to hotwire the motorcycle. Three men – described as white, in their teens or 20s, of tall and slim build and with dark hair, two wearing light tracksuit tops and bottoms and the third in dark trousers and a dark top – were seen tampering with the bike and police want to trace them.

If you saw them in the area or have any information about them call Pc Pullen at Lowestoft on 101.
