POLICE have recovered the motorbike they believe was used by the gunman who terrorised a Portchester family in their home.

The red and white Yamaha motorbike was found in Connaught Lane, Paulsgrove, yesterday.

The vehicle was reported stolen from Dunstable in August 2000.

Officers are today continuing their house-to-house inquiries near to where the motorbike was found and in Leith Road where the gunman struck.

They are trying to establish the getaway route used by the attacker after he entered a house through the front door, wearing a motorcycle helmet, and fired a single bullet.

A 41-year-old man and his 32-year-old partner, along with their two-year-old boy and one-year-old baby girl, where at home when the incident happened at 8pm on Thursday night. No-one was injured.

If you can help call Fareham CID on 0845 045 4545.
