A man narrowly avoided having his moto stolen thanks to a fortuitous chase route on Wednesday.

Police said three motorbikes crammed with eight thugs had pulled alongside a young factory worker.

Unwilling to give up his bike, the would-be victim took off and, as luck would have it, passed right by a police station.

Officers immediately intervened and saved the day, though only managed to snare one of the eight robbers.
