Appeal as offenders make off with £30k in pedal bikes
Main article content
We are appealing for information after around £30k in pedal bikes were stolen from a shop in Stafford this morning (Friday 23 December).
At 2.40am, a group of offenders were seen loading bikes into the back of a silver Vauxhall Insignia. They had forced entry into a bike shop on The Green in Milford.
At this stage, we believe they made off with at least five high-value pedal bikes.
A short time later, we found one of the Cannondale bikes, which had been dumped on the A34 in Huntington. We seized it for forensic testing and carried on looking for the suspect vehicle.
We later found the Insignia abandoned in Willenhall, West Midlands. It was seized for forensic testing and came back as stolen.
We are making inquiries into the incident and would like to speak to anyone who may have any information which can help with our investigation.
We are particularly interested in locating the following four bikes:
- Whyte T-160 S XL
- Merida Reacto 5000 black/red large
- Merida Scultura 9000 gold large
- Merida one-sixty 6000 black mid
