The burglars struck sometime between 5.30pm on Friday, March 16 and 9.30am on Saturday, March 17 at Berkshire Cycles in Loddon Bridge Road.

They forced their way in to the shop and stole six specialised bicycles which include two Raleigh bikes, one Giant bike, one GT bike and a Landrover bike.

“If you heard or saw anything suspicious in the area around the time of the incident, please contact the police.”

Anyone with information about the incident should call PC Turner-Evans on 101 or on the charity Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

   Got to assume these are fairly stupid burglars then, as they managed to nab bikes worth an average of £165 each!
