The theft of a number of high value bicycles from the Clee Cycles shop in Bridgnorth is being investigated by the Police.

In the early hours of Thursday at just after 01:15am, West Mercia Police were informed that a number of unidentified males were breaking into Clee Cycles on Hollybush Road, Bridgnorth.

Witnesses described two vehicles involved in the burglary, a Volvo Estate and a Mercedes Sprinter panel van.

An unknown number of men, believed to be at least six, were involved in the incident. The group were all wearing hooded tops, making identification of them difficult.

The offenders gained entry to the shop by breaking in the front door and then proceeded to steal a number of high value bicycles, loading them into the waiting van and estate. The burglary was over in a matter of minutes.

The first Police patrol was on the scene within six minutes of the first call, however, the offenders had already made off in the two vehicles. The neighbouring West Midlands and Staffordshire Police Forces were informed of the incident as it was assessed as likely that the offenders may be from outside of the County.

Officer at the scene spoke to a number of witnesses and were able to get some useful information that is still under investigation. Scenes of Crime Officers have been to the shop and house to house enquiries have been conducted in the area.

If you were in the area at that time and saw anything suspicious, or you have information that may help to identify the offenders involved in this crime, please contact the Police on 101.
