THE mother of a 17-year-old who has been "throwing money" at his prize Yamaha is offering a reward for the safe return of the stolen motorbike.

Jamie Knowles, of Abberley Avenue, Stourport, was shocked when his Yamaha DT 125 was stolen from the driveway of a friend's house in Ludlow Road, Kidderm-inster, just after 9pm on Sunday.

His mother Tracey Morris said he had "thrown money" at the bike, valued at about £800, to keep it in good condition since buying it nine months ago - and that a £100 reward is on offer for information leading to its safe return.

He also needs it travel to Uvascan in Lisle Avenue, Kidderminster, where he works as an assembler.

Anyone with information should contact Kidderminster Police on 01562 820888.
