POLICE investigating the theft of two motocross bikes in Poole are appealing for anyone with information to come forward.

The bikes were stolen from an address in King John Avenue on Tuesday, October 3, at about 1.45am.

It was reported that two men broke into a shed and after police searched the area, they found the culprits had broken the shed’s doors and locks to get in.

The shed’s owner was notified and said two motocross bikes were missing.

Officers recovered one of the bikes, but the other, a Kawasaki 65cc KX250, remains missing.
