A hapless thief posted pictures of himself posing on stolen motorbikes on Instagram.
Dean Hall, 26, of Albert Road, Widnes, was shown sitting on a Ducati, Triumph Speed and SYM scooter, all of which had been pilfered in Runcorn.
Cheshire Police said the bikes in the social media snaps, posted from July 2021 to January 2022, were worth more than £25,000. Officers linked the account to Hall and arrested him at home on Friday, January 28.
