THREE youths aged between 14 and 17 were arrested on Tuesday for suspected involvement in a series of motorcycle thefts.

They were nabbed in an ambush in the Teban Gardens area carried out by officers from Clementi Police Division to investigate the thefts in that area since April.

At about 7.35am on Tuesday, officers spotted a youth riding a motorcycle that had earlier been reported stolen. The 17-year-old was detained along Jurong East Street 21, together with the stolen motorcycle.
