AN APPEAL has been launched following bike thefts from a Yarmouth cycle hire centre in the early hours of this morning (Wednesday).

The Wight Cycle Hire Centre on Station Road was broken into around 2.30am.

Two men have been caught on CCTV, who the cycle hire company believe may have been involved.

Several bikes were stolen, including Electric Bikes.

The bikes were cycled down the old railway track towards Freshwater and were left before being collected.

Wight Cycle Hire said: “If anyone has been offered or seen the following, please let us know:

“Forme Curbar 3 Bright Orange Mountain Bike, a Forme Sterndale 4 Bright Orange, a Sky Blue Emu Electric Bike with no keys and a yellow mark on the left side of the down tube, and a Saracen MTB WTeal & Pink with distinctive pink grips with a rear flat tyre.”

The bikes are labelled with a Wight Cycle Hire sticker, and whilst not impossible to remove, they are difficult to get off, so there may be a sticky residue left on the top tube.

Contact Wight Cycle Hire on 01983 761800 if you have seen anything or report it to the police.
