Three people have been charged in connection with a series of motorcycle thefts in Ipswich.
A man, a 16-year-old boy and a woman were detained at an Ipswich address on February 16 after a Honda motorcycle was allegedly stolen in January.
They were then taken to Martlesham Police Investigation Centre for questioning where Michael Rzasa, of Norwich Road, was charged with five counts of theft of a motor vehicle.
A 16-year-old boy was also charged with four counts of theft of a motor vehicle.
They both appeared at Ipswich Magistrates’ Court on Tuesday, March 23 and are next due to appear at the same court on Tuesday, March 30. Rzesa, 23, was remanded in custody.
A 24-year-old woman was arrested on suspicion of possession with intent to supply Class A drugs and money laundering.
The woman was initially released under investigation pending further enquiries but was later given a caution in relation to the drug offence and will now face no further action in relation to the money laundering offence.
