Four brand-new 2016 Cube Fritzz bikes were stolen from Pedalabikeaway in the Forest of Dean on Sunday night (April 10th.)

The police were called at 8.45am this morning (Monday, April 11th) to reports of bikes and a red Toyota Hilux being stolen from the cycle centre in Cannop, near Coleford.

The bikes, which were brand new and still in their boxes, are worth approximately £20,000.

The Toyota has since been recovered nearby, but the bikes are still missing.

The components of the bikes are: Rockshox Pike RC160, Rockshox Monarch plus (shock tune ML3, which is unusual), Rockshox Reverb, Shimano XT11 speed and a Raceface finishing kit.

The thief or thieves did not take the wheels, since these were in separate boxes.

Anyone with information is asked to call police on 101, quoting the incident reference, 79 of 11th April.
