A REWARD is being offered to anyone who has information leading to the recovery of several motocross bikes.
The owner of an Eastbourne garage has offered a £1,000 reward for information leading to the recovery of the bikes and associated stock that was stolen.
Police are appealing for information about the break-in at H L Racing in Oak Tree Lane on the evening of Thursday, December 17.
Two people with their faces covered and wearing gloves broke into the premises some time between 6.45pm and 9.45pm.
They stole 11 motocross bikes, a van, motocrosss accessories and clothing, including GoPro cameras.
The company’s Iveco Daily Luton box van was used to carry the property away and it was found burnt out in Bodle Street Green, near Hailsham, later the same evening.
It is believed the offenders may have driven along back roads from Eastbourne.
They may also have been using a burgundy colour Land Rover Discovery 1 or 2 series.
PC Jon Moore said: “This incident has devastated a local business that operate among a close-knit community in the motocross world.”
Anyone with information is asked to email 101@sussex.pnn.police.uk.
