Police are appealing for information on the theft of two high value electric bikes from a store in Linlithgow on Sunday October 20.
The incident happened at around 3.30 am on Sunday morning when four men broke into the Easygo Electric Bikes store in Mill Road Industrial Estate, Linlithgow.
A quantity of items including two electric bikes, one a black CUBE Agree Hybrid C62 SLT and the other a white CUBE Agree Hybrid C62 SL and a turbo trainer were stolen. The haul is estimated to be worth over £12,000 (twelve thousand pounds.)
Detective Constable Ross Collett, Livingston CID, is leading the enquiry. He said: “We know that the men, only described as wearing balaclavas, used a red Ford Transit van, recently stolen from the Bo’ness area, during the break-in. It has still to be traced.
“The two bikes they stole have a combined value of over £11,000 (eleven thousand pounds) but the black bike, the CUBE Agree Hybrid C62 SLT is a rare bike, only one of which is believed to be for sale in Scotland.
“Hopefully the fact that these bikes will have a niche market will make it difficult for the thieves to sell on. We would appeal to specialist bike stores or those who are interested in these types of bikes to keep an eye out for them in the shops or online and if approached or have any information that will assist our enquiry, then to contact police at Livingston Police Office via 101. Please quote reference number 0843 of the 20th October, 2019, when calling.
“Details can also be passed anonymously to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
