The two bikes – a grey Carrera and a distinctive orange and black Boss electric – were stolen during a burglary from a private garage in Newells.

PC Stacey, who is investigating, said: “I am appealing for anyone who has seen the bikes to get in touch.I am keen to hear from anyone who has recently purchased a bike matching these descriptions in a private sale in the area of North Hertfordshire.

“Please get in touch so we can give them back to their rightful owner.”
