Speaking on the Barrow police Facebook page, an officer said: "PD Quake tracked the two males and surprisingly, showing the most common sense they have probably ever have, they stopped and were promptly arrested.
"For those who don't know PD Quake, he can reach speeds of up to 30mph.
"For anyone thinking of stealing a motorcycle, we will catch you, and we will use our furry friends if needs be......and he doesn't use handcuffs."
Barrow police also warned there had been several motorcycles and scooters stolen in the local area in the last few days.
The Facebook post added: "Please ensure that if possible these are locked away in a secure yard away from any sticky fingers."
