Police have recovered a stolen motorbike with the assistance of the community in Wollongong yesterday.
Officers from Lake Illawarra Police District had received several reports from a community source that a loud, unregistered motorbike was being driven down a street in Warilla during the day and night.
About 9.15pm (Monday 23 December 2019), police from the Lake Illawarra Proactive Crime Team attended a home on Ponsford Street, where they found an unregistered Yamaha motorcycle with an altered number plate.

Investigations are continuing.
Police would like to thank the community for their assistance.
