The teenager had reportedly stopped at the Morrisons petrol station on Meadowhead to make a call when he was targeted on Sunday, February 26, at around 9.05am. A police spokesperson said: “It is understood that while the man was stationary, unknown suspects approached, threatened him with a knife and stole his motorbike.”
The man’s mother, who has appealed for help to catch the robbers and recover the vehicle, said her son was ‘OK but shook up’. She shared a photo of the vehicle, which is a yellow Honda with the licence plate FC16 PPV, and urged anyone who sees it to contact police.
She also said that other people had contacted her to say their vehicles had been targeted, including one man in Batemoor who has CCTV footage of three men trying to steal his bike on three occasions.
South Yorkshire Police said an investigation is underway and asked anyone with information to call 101, quoting incident number 963 of February 26, or to get in touch online.
