Officers investigating two burglaries in Poundbury are appealing for witnesses or anyone with information to come forward.
Dorset Police received a report shortly after 1am on Thursday 24 November 2022 of a break-in at Chasing Tails Bicycle Repairs at Buttermarket. It was reported that three bicycles, with a combined value estimated at £22,000, had been stolen.
The stolen bicycles were a black Evil Chamois Hagar gravel bike, a grey and black Transition Patrol all terrain bike and a red Santa Cruz V10 downhill all terrain bike.
A further burglary was reported at a residential garage in Widcombe Walk at around 2.15am on Friday 25 November 2022. An orange KTM off road motorbike was stolen.
Officers are carrying out enquiries into both incidents and due to the close proximity, they are considering the possibility that they could be linked.
Police Constable Maddie Barber, of Dorchester police, said: “We are investigating these burglaries and I am keen to hear from anyone with information that might assist our enquiries.
“I would urge anyone who witnessed any suspicious activity in the area during the early hours of Thursday 24 November and Friday 25 November 2022. I would also urge residents with home CCTV systems or doorbell cameras to review their footage for anything that might assist us.
“Finally, I would like to hear from anyone who comes across a bicycle or motorbike matching the descriptions of those that were stolen being offered for sale locally or online in unusual circumstances.”
