Police Plea: Spot the Bike, Help Crack Case
Temporary Detective Chief Inspector Guy Shackleton said:
“This was an extremely serious incident that has left a man critically ill. We are releasing an image of the bike used in the shooting and asking anyone who saw it, or knows who was riding it, to come forward.”
“We are piecing together the bike’s movements from July 7 until it was found in Shipley on July 15. Any CCTV or dashcam footage showing the bike in Bradford would be a huge help.”
