Vintage cycles stolen in Telford break-in
Police are appealing for information after a number of vintage pedal cycles were stolen from an outbuilding at a home in Telford.
The bikes, of which some date back to 1912, were stolen in a break-in at an address in The Rock in St Georges, some time between 7pm on Thursday and 10.40am on Friday.
Thieves forced their way into a garage and two sheds, which are situated in the garden at the address.
A full search was carried out of the outbuildings and five vintage pedal cycles were stolen from within.
Police are investigating the break-in and are appealing to anyone with information in relation to the whereabouts of the bikes to come forward.
A Telford Police spokeswoman said: "The bikes date back to 1912 and the 1950's and are of sentimental value to the victim.
"We are carrying out enquiries in relation to the break-in and would appeal to anyone with information to come forward.
"It is possible that thieves may try and sell the bikes to somebody or for scrap, so we would ask people to be vigilant and to call us if they come across any suspicious activity in relation to the sale of such bikes."
The description of some of the bikes include an Armstrong upright road bike dating back to 1912-1915, a 1950's upright Raleigh pedal cycle and a South African bomber bike, which has search lights and bomber on the frame and the word "springs" written on it.
