Thieves scaled fence to steal high-value bikes

Three high-value bikes were stolen from a garden shed in Biddulph.

Police have appealed for witnesses after the theft, which happened at an address off St David’s Way.

At around 9.50pm, the offenders climbed over a large wooden fence before accessing a garden shed where the bikes were stored.

Worth around £9,000, they are described as a black Mondraker Crafty R Bike with a floral frame protector, gold shock absorbers and pedals, a blue Haibike Sduro Hard7 with luminous green detailing, pink pedals and pink handlebars, and a black Marin Alpine Trail 7 with blue detailing, beige handle bar grips and grey shock absorbers.

This week, police were continuing to investigate the theft and officers said they were keen to speak to any witnesses, anyone with cctv or smart doorbell footage, or anyone who may have seen the “distinctive” bikes since.

Anyone with any information is asked to report online or call 101, quoting incident 096 of 24th January. Alternatively, for guaranteed anonymity, call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
