Police send bike thieves flying through the air after high-speed chase

THIS is the moment two bungling brothers were sent flying off a stolen motorbike after being shunted by a police car as they tried to escape.

Josh and Mark Bowler were sent sprawling onto a grass verge after police used 'low-speed tactical contact' to bring a dramatic chase to an abrupt halt.

The hapless siblings had earlier been spotted by police shortly after they swiped a bike from outside a shop in Sherwood, Notts., on February 8 last year.

After tracing the stolen vehicle’s location to near Broxtowe Country Park, officers made their way there and spotted two riders.

A check of the police database revealed both bikes had been stolen – with the other taken from Bestwood, in Nottingham, on January 14 last year.

It was later discovered Mark, 19, was behind that theft, with brother Josh, 21, taking the other motorbike from Sherwood.
