POLICE are investigating after three electric bikes with a combined value of about £14,000 were stolen.
The bikes were taken from a garage Innerleithen in the Scottish Borders, sometime between Thursday morning and 6.40am on Friday.
The bikes – a Whyte e160s light blue metallic, a turbo levo hard tail specialized e-bike and a Bergamont ladies hybrid e-bike – were all taken from the premises on Traquair Road.
Police Scotland is now investigating the theft, with officers appealing for anyone with information to come forward Detective Sergeant Bruce Dodds said: “Our inquiries into this incident are ongoing and we are keen to speak to anyone who may have witnessed what happened or saw anything suspicious in the area around the time.
“Likewise we are keen to speak to anyone who may have been offered these kind of bikes for sale.”
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!
