This relates to incident number 12250129388, please quote this reference number should you have any further information. 

The bike was stolen from a garden shed along with some extension cables following an individual entering multiple sheds on the property.  Please ensure any garages or sheds are secured with good locks and security measures are in place. 

We strongly advise fitting a shed/garage alarm which can be purchased for as little as £10 from DIY stores or online, they are battery operated and are very easy to fit. It's also a good idea to lock items together or to a secure fitting inside your building using a cable lock or chain.
