Three high value bikes stolen from vehicle near Market Drayton
Three bikes worth around £10,000 have been stolen from the back of a Land Rover Discovery just hours after a Shropshire family arrived home from holiday.
The bikes were left locked to the back of the vehicle at their home in Bearstone Road in Norton in Hales, near Market Drayton while the family went to bed.
When they awoke a few hours later, they found the two cable locks securing the bikes to a rack had been cut through and the bikes missing.
The Dwyer family had returned from holidaying in France at 2am on Monday where they had been training for a charity cycling event through Vietnam and Cambodia.
Mrs Kathryn Dwyer is taking part in the 400-mile ride in just 10 weeks time and is now anxious to obtain a replacement cycle to continue her training.
West Mercia Police are investigating the theft and have issued an appeal for information. They are anxious to hear from anyone who spotted suspicious activity in Bearstone Road during the early hours of Monday, or who has information about the current whereabouts of the bikes.
All three cycles are distinctive and will cost around £10,000 to replace. They are a Spcialised Stuntjumper mountain bike, an orange and white Aubayer ladies road bike with flat handlebars and an Italian make yellow and blue Bettaglin Breganze bike.
Information to Market Drayton police station on 0300 333 3000 or to the anonymous Crimestoppers number, 0800 555 111.
