Two e-bikes stolen during Peebles break-in prompts police appeal
Police are appealing for information after two e-bikes were stolen during a break-in at a home in Peebles.
Officers believe the theft - in the town's Whitehaugh Park - took place sometime between 4pm and 6pm yesterday (Wednesday, December 11th).
It comes just weeks after four bikes worth almost £10,000 were stolen from vehicles in the Innerleithen Road area - on the opposite bank of the River Tweed.
The first e-bike is described as black with bright blue pedals, and has the brand name “SPECIALIZED” in white text across the frame.
The second e-bike is described as orange with black pedals, and has the word “VOODOO” in text across the battery box and frame.
