A MAN was arrested after stacks of bikes were found at a house yesterday. 

Police officers raided a house on Giles Road in Littlemore and found huge piles of bikes which they think have been stolen.

A 54-year-old man from Oxford was arrested on suspicion of handling stolen goods and possession of the criminal property but was released under investigation today. 

Oxford Mail: Piles and piles of bikes can be seen from neighbouring windows, so high they are nearly spilling over the fence. Piles and piles of bikes can be seen from neighbouring windows, so high they are nearly spilling over the fence.
