An off duty police officer has used his own time to share details of day of crime fighting cross Doncater.

Taking to social media the officer said that this last week has certainly left him questioning his life choices lol, working in 36 degree heat in a full bike kit.

He said: “For the haters, I am not writing this in work time, don't worry I am not spending your hard earned money, while I could be fighting crime. I am off work at home paying myself.

“We can't update you on everything we have been doing last week unfortunately. This is due to ongoing investigations, secret squirrel stuff and all that.

“However, I can give you a quick snap shot of one evening in our beloved Donvegas. We had literally just arrived and we spot a red 4x4 in company with a white van.

“The cheech and chong was strong . Both vehicles stopped. On enquiring with the driver of the van as to its providence he eloquently stated. "I'VE JUST NICKED IT”. Say what now? "I'VE JUST NICKED IT".

“Sure enough it was actually stolen, not sure if it's the heat or a new strain of truth cannabis, but we will take it. If only every investigation was so easy.

“In the van a bum bag filled with cannabis was also seized. Off to the cells Buce, see ya later.”

He continued: “Next up following continued issues with diesel thefts in the Doncaster area we travelled to Highfields. We weren't on the trail long, before we rooted out these three trailers.

“Filled with barrels, syphoning gear, a battery and a pump mixed with the aroma of diesel it didn't take Sherlock to figure out the puzzle. All three trailers seized used in crime.

“We then responded to a rather bizarre incident involving two mobility scooters where the riders were reportedly shooting at wildlife.

“Sure enough as we came off of Pastures Lane, Doncaster, there we see two mobility scooters. One clearly in possession of a rifle case. Hilariously the first mobility scooter tries to make off.

"XS XS THIS IS LORS1 WE HAVE A VEHICLE FAILING TO STOP. ITS A BIT OF A STRANGE ONE, SPEED IS 5 MPH. VEHICLE IS NOT ACCELERATING AWAY FROM ME. ACTUALLY IVE GOT OFF THE BIKE, ITS A STOP STOP LOL”.

“Whilst chatting to the rider of mobility scooter number two, the one with the air rifle, he jumps up from the scooter and starts protesting his innocence. Hmmm not sure you should be so sprightly if you need that my friend.

“Air rifle found to be loaded but not one in the chamber. While conducting a search of the male. Turns out he is wanted. The chap clearly knows that something is afoot, boom like a whippet out of the traps, Mr mobility scooter is the next Usain Bolt.

“Like a gazelle he's off and scales an 8 foot wall into gardens. Clearly loaded, he continues to hedge hop back onto the main road where he was detained between some garages. Can't out run a big 4 fiddy pal.

“The old busted bracelet's make an appearance and are slapped on said wrists. Clearly this gent's pace may have been helped by some tweaking dust, any higher and he may have required wings.

“I am not sure who he was looking at, but it may have been through space and time. Another one off to custody.

“A further search whilst in hotel Donvegas revealed a small amount of class A.”

He concluded: “DWP forms submitted, might be worth a check what this upstanding gent is claiming. Not wanting to miss out on the power of the class 2 we swapped out the 450 and kindly took our tweakers steed back home. Team out. “
