POLICE are appealing for help following the theft of three valuable mountain bikes from a property at Usk on Friday, December 16.

The bikes are as follows a Mondraker Foxy in silver with red writing, a Mondraker Foxy in black/orange and a Giant Stance in black/blue/orange

“What makes this crime more heinous is the Giant was bought as a Christmas present,” said a police spokesman.

“These bikes are very noticeable due to the amount of personal customization to them, as such do not purchase them if you get offered any as they will be noticed by someone,” he added.

“If you are offered a bike fitting the descriptions above, please call the police immediately on 07464 653211, or if you wish to remain anonymous please call 101 and quote log number 174 of 17/12/16. Alternatively you can call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111

“Let’s get these bikes back to their rightful owners before Christmas!”
