Two motorbikes were stolen from a body repair shop in Stevenage last month, prompting police to appeal to the public for more information.

Between 12.10am and 12.25am on Tuesday, August 18, three males gained access to Fix Auto in Gunnels Wood Road after damaging the glass front door.

Two motorbikes were then stolen – a blue, BMW 1000RR with ‘Fix Auto’ on the side, and a red, white and blue Honda CRF450.

Police officers are now appealing for witnesses or anyone with information to come forward to assist with their investigation.

PC Josh Stephenson, who is investigating, said: “I am appealing for anyone who saw what happened or anyone with information about the burglary to get in touch. Were you in the area? Did you see or hear suspicious activity? Any information you have, no matter how small it might seem, could prove significant to the investigation.

“I would also like to hear from anyone who thinks they might have been offered the motorbikes for sale.

“If you can help, please call the non-emergency number 101 or email me at josh.stephenson@herts.pnn.police.uk quoting crime reference 41/65887/20.”
