The shed and garage burglaries seem to be ongoing, although they do seem to be easing off – but Samantha Roberts has contacted me today after her brother had two mountain bikes stolen from his home last night (Wednesday 3rd – Friday 4th February 2016) in Clayhanger.

Hi Bob

My brother’s mountain bikes have been stolen in the night could you share their photos please?

He’s a hardworking Royal engineer in army paid for bikes with his tour money from Afghanistan (bomb disposal) seems cruel someone fighting for country has this happen.

They were taken from Clayhanger by the way, tow of them – a pink and a white one.

Thanks
Samantha

Both bikes are shown in the gallery above – the pink downhill bike is very distinctive and should be obvious if offered for sale.

If you know someone that’s suddenly pitched up with a bike that you feel could be on of the ones in question, please do contact West Midlands Police by dialling 101 or speak to Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
