TWO motorbikes worth a five-figure sum have been stolen from an industrial estate in Livingston.
The bikes, both KTM 450 SX-F models, were taken from the Houston Industrial Estate, some time between 6pm and 6.30pm on Wednesday December 30.
Detective Constable Sam Plastow of Livingston CID said: “One motorbike is orange and grey with the lettering ‘LAURIS’ on the front and side.
“The second motorbike is orange with ‘METAL MULISHA’ and ‘ROCKSTAR ENERGY’ stickers on the front and side.
“It is believed that a white van may have been used to carry one of the motorbikes away from the business units and the other being pushed away.
“Inquiries into this incident are currently ongoing.
“However, if anyone was in the area around the time of this incident and saw anything that may assist this investigation we are keen for them to get in contact as soon as possible.
“I would also urge anyone who has seen motorbikes matching the description or has noticed them being advertised for sale, or has any information about the location of the bikes to make us aware.”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
