Off-road motorbikes stolen from back garden

Two off-road motorbikes have been stolen from Irthlingborough.
The theft took place between 11pm on Sunday August 2 and 6am on Monday August 3 from a rear garden at a home in Nicholas Road. The first machine was an off road Kawasaki, green and black in colour. The second one was a red pit bike. The motorbikes had been chained together. Witnesses to this incident, or anyone with information, should call Northamptonshire Police on 03000 111 222 - alternatively, information can be given anonymously to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

GARDIEN TIP: Clearly the chain was insufficient to prevent theft but there are better options - these include use of a ground anchor or installation of a secure metal shed. See the advice at http://www.garden-security.co.uk/garden-crime-prevention.aspx
