Yamaha R1 among stolen bikes involved in Leicestershire Police hunt
Two bikes are being searched for by Leicestershire Police after they were stolen in September.
Leicestershire Police has appealed to the public for help in a search for two stolen bikes.
The bikes in question are a 2004 Suzuki DR-Z400 enduro bike and a Yamaha R1 (referred to by the police as a Yamaha YZF1000R) sports bike. The DR-Z400 is in Suzuki’s traditional off-road yellow, while the R1 is in the classic Yamaha US yellow ‘speed blocks’ design.
Leicestershire Police says they were both stolen from the integrated garage of an address on Groby Road, Leicester between 02:00 and 08:00 on 7 September.
The police says it has carried out enquiries into the theft of the two bikes, but it is now appealing to the public for help in its search for them.
Leicestershire Police is calling for anyone who has either seen the bikes being ridden, or offered for sale, to come forward and give any information they have.
“We are continuing to investigate the burglary but understandably the owner of the motorbikes is extremely upset that these were stolen,” said DC Freeman of Leicestershire Police.
“I hope that publishing images of the two bikes might assist in people coming forward if they have information that could help us in finding them.
“If you believe you have seen the bikes being ridden or being offered for sale anywhere, please contact police straight away.”
A statement from the police published on social media adds: “Any information relating to this incident can be reported by calling 101, quoting crime reference number 26*536904.”
