Appeal following bike thefts in Edinburgh
Police are appealing for information after two bicycles were stolen in Edinburgh.
They were stolen from a garden shed at an address in the Buckstone Avenue area around 6.45pm on Thursday, 25 January, 2024.
The first is a green/bronze coloured Ragley Mountain Bike with purple handle bar end caps and the second is a blue coloured Giant Fantom Mountain Bike.
Inspector Keith Forrester said: "One of the bikes holds a great deal of sentimental value to the family as it belonged to their 18-year-old son who died in February 2023.
"The family are distraught and described the bike as their late son's pride and joy and provided them with many fond memories.
"We are appealing for anyone who has any information to come forward. If you were in the area and have private CCTV or dash-cam footage which could help, please get in touch.
"If you have unknowingly bought one of the stolen bikes recently, it would mean so much to the family to get the bikes back. Anyone with any information is asked to contact 101 quoting reference incident 3430 of 25 January."
