POLICE have recovered a motorbike stolen in Castle Bromwich earlier this week.
A rider was knocked off the vehicle on the Chester Road in the early hours of Tuesday morning.
Just over 24 hours later, police spotted two men riding a moped without helmets and pursued the pair.
They rode to Babbs Mill Park, in Kingshurst, where they abandoned the bike and fled on foot.
Solihull Police said: "Luckily for them, the dog was unable to get a track on this occasion otherwise one of them may have had a painful encounter.
"The bike was identified as being the silver and blue Pulse stolen during the robbery in Chester Road ... It has been recovered and is awaiting forensic examination."
Officers are keen to hear from anyone who saw the bike between when it was stolen, at around 12.40am on Tuesday, and 2.30am on Wednesday - when it was spotted by one of the force's dog units.
Anyone with information should call 101.
