A 16-year-old boy killed in a crash in Stockport earlier this week was riding onboard a stolen motorbike, police have confirmed.
Emergency services were scrambled to Gorton Road in Reddish on Tuesday morning (January 24). Teenager Dean Barnes suffered injuries following the collision between a motorbike and a car, and later died.
Officers from Greater Manchester Police (GMP) have now said the 16-year-old was riding a white off-road motorbike stolen during a burglary at a nearby property shortly before the collision.
