WATCH: Hunt for driver of stolen motorbike which struck 10-year-old boy continues

The hunt for the driver of a stolen motorbike which struck a 10-year-old boy on Saturday - leaving him seriously injured - continues.

The child was using a pedestrian crossing in the Drylaw area of Edinburgh at 6.35pm on Saturday evening when he was struck by the stolen motorbike.

He suffered serious injuries and was taken to the city's Sick Kids hospital.

Police said that at the time he was struck, two motorcycles, each with one person on board, appear to have gone through a red light at the pedestrian crossing.

The boy was struck by the second motorcycle, a white Triumph Daytona 650cc, which carried on for a short distance before the rider abandoned the machine and ran off.

He was wearing a grey hooded top, dark tracksuit bottoms and a white full face helmet with a coloured design on it.

Both motorcyclists had scarves covering their faces.

On Sunday evening, police executed two search warrants in Granton Mill March and Wardieburn Place West.

The abandoned Triumph motorbike was stolen earlier in Edinburgh.

Officers are now reviewing CCTV footage in order to identify the driver.

Forth News has been speaking to Chief Inspector Jimmy Jones about the current investigation.

Police Scotland will also ramp up the number of officers in the area over the coming days, in a bid to reassure locals.
