Appeal following the theft of high value off road motorbikes and mountain bikes, Fife

Officers are appealing for information after a number of high value off road motorbikes and mountain bikes and were stolen following a break-in near the village of Thornton, Kirkcaldy.

The incident was reported around 10.20am on Saturday, 17 September, and is believed to have happened overnight.

Detective Sergeant Alasdair Young, of Glenrothes CID, said: “This incident happened at a rural location and it appears that the persons responsible knew what they were looking for and would have required transport to take the bikes away.

“We are keen to speak to anyone who may have seen anything suspicious in the area, including on rural roads between Tykes Burn and Lochty Burn, off the A92.

“Likewise we are keen to speak to anyone who may be offered these kind of bikes for sale.”

Anyone who can assist is asked to contact Police Scotland on 101, quoting incident number 1030 of Saturday, 17 September, 2022.
