THREE Yamahas with a collective total of up to £30,000 where stolen from The Bike Shop in Faversham, Kent.

The thieves broke through the front door of the showroom at around 2:40am on the 30th August and wheeled out a special red-and-white Jorge Lorenzo replica YZF-R1, registration GJ10 FVR, worth £10,500, a blue 2008 R1, registration GJ61 HUY, worth £7,500 and an unregistered Fiat Yamaha replica R6 worth £9,500.

The men were all described as being around 5ft 10in tall, slim and wearing hooded tops.

We are following up a number of enquiries and are viewing local CCTV but we would be very keen to speak to anyone who has any information about the theft, or who knows where the bikes are."
