A STOLEN scooter on false number plates has been recovered in Bolton.
While out on patrol last night, local PCSO Garbett discovered the vehicle in Church Street, Little Lever - some 10 miles from its home.
A police check confirmed that it had been stolen from the Darwen area.
The vehicle was subsequently recovered so it can be returned to its rightful owner.
The discovery of the vehicle was highlighted on Greater Manchester Police's social media page.
