Man arrested after racing bikes worth £20,000 stolen in Stockton burglary


A man has been arrested after racing bikes worth £20,000 were stolen in a Stockton burglary.


Officers investigating a break-in to a garage on Darlington Back Lane in Hardwick have arrested a man in connection with the incident.


Two men smashed their way into a garage in broad daylight and at a busy traffic light junction.


They took three high value racing bikes during the incident, which took place at around 3.30pm on Tuesday, January 20.


They then rode away on their own pedal bikes with the racing bikes over their shoulders.

Enquiries have led officers to believe that stolen bikes could possibly be being stored in insecure sheds or outbuildings, specifically in the Hardwick area. Local residents are asked to check their outbuildings or sheds and to contact police if they come across a bike which does not belong to them.


A 21-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of burglary and has been bailed pending further enquiries.


Police would appeal for anyone with information regarding the incident to contact them. Anyone with information is asked to contact DC Will Galloway of Stockton Volume Crime Unit on 101.
