He stole the moped from a path at the side of a house in Hazel Crescent, Shirebrook, on December 28.

Officers later saw him with the moped and he was stopped and arrested.

Wyatt broke into a garage in Queen’s Road, Hodthorpe on June 8.

A car stereo, strimmer, lawnmower and tools were stolen.

Blood left at the scene provided us with Wyatt’s DNA and he was arrested for the crime.
