Police are appealing for information after a mini motorbike was stolen from a property in Witney yesterday evening.

Thieves stole the mini motorbike from a property in Sherbourne Road at about 7.10pm, when the home owner left the bike unattended while he went inside his house.

Det Sgt Craig Kirby said: “The bike taken was a blue Ryan Matthews Cobra, with a black and white number seven on both sides of the tank. It is worth about £200.

“We are keen to hear from anyone who saw any suspicious activity in the area or anyone seen with the bike after it was stolen.

“I would also urge anyone who might be offered the bike for sale to contact us.”

Anyone with information can contact Det Sgt Kirby via the Thames Valley Enquiry Centre on 0845 8 505 505, or alternatively you can contact the Crimestoppers charity anonymously on 0800 555 111.
