High-value bikes stolen during burglary between Hemel and Berkhamsted

Police are investigating after three high-value bicycles were stolen during a burglary in Potten End, Hemel Hempstead.

The bikes were stolen from a property in Vicarage Road between 10.55pm and 11.10pm on Easter Sunday (12 April).

Offender(s) broke into a detached garage and stole:

- A black and white Kinesis FF29 road bike with SRAM X1 groupset and egg beater pedals,

- A grey Cannondale Slate Ultegra 2017 mountain bike with a distinctive Cannondale ‘lefty fork’ above the front wheel, and Crankbrothers egg beater pedals,

- A white and orange On-One ‘Fatty’ stunt bike with egg beater pedals.

PC Rob Munn, who is investigating, said: “These bikes are of significant value and it’s highly likely the person or people who stole them was aware of how much they were worth.

"Therefore we are keen to hear of anyone selling a bike matching the ones in the photographs, either online or in person.

“They are very distinctive, so please get in touch quoting crime reference 41/31385/29 if you think you may have any information on their whereabouts.”

If you have any information call Hertfordshire Police on 101, alternatively you can report it online, or email PC Munn at [email protected].
