E-bikes stolen near Skipton
They were stolen from Kilnsey on Tuesday evening.
Two high-value E-bikes were stolen from the rear of a vehicle in Kilnsey, near Skipton.
It happened on Mastiles Lane around 8.30pm on Tuesday.
Police say offenders attended the area and caused damage to security on the rear of a parked vehicle, before stealing the two E-bikes on the vehicle.
Police are appealing for information from anyone locally who saw any vehicles or people in the area at that time or in the days before this who appeared suspicious or out of place.
PC Rich Sutcliffe who is investigating the theft, said: “I know that offenders arrived in a small van, unknown colour, with a noisy engine or exhaust. After the theft it left Mastiles Lane and headed North up the B6160 toward Kettlewell but after that there were no further sightings of it.
"Due to the location and circumstances of the theft I believe that this vehicle and offenders must have attended the area in days prior to the theft. I would ask anyone with any information or suspicions about any people or vehicles around this time to get in touch with me”
Anyone with information that could assist the investigation should contact North Yorkshire Police on 101, select option 2, and ask for Richard Sutcliffe. You can also email richard.sutcliffe@northyorkshire.pnn.police.uk
