nickc Posted November 15, 2017 Share Two of those guys definitely look like cyclists, lean and toned. Also the fact that they took a couple of Cannondales and overlooked the Spezs mean they also know their bikes.

ScottCM Posted November 15, 2017 Share Hi Guys There was an alarm that went off and the armed response was at the shop within 4 minutes. They were in and out within a minute. Definitely knew exactly what they wanted. I tend to agree that the guy loading the bikes was a cyclist. once caught, shoot his knee cap so he can never ride again. He doesn't deserve to be labeled as a "cyclist." Prince Albert Cycles, DIPSLICK and Long Wheel Base 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jewbacca Posted November 15, 2017 Share Have a look out for anyone buying a new Rear wheel.... The last bike left without one! The dude who needs a belt definitely rides bikes. He also looks like he is getting excited... This is sad. I hope he doesn't check the stem bolts and he rides off the side of a pass while trying to turn.

Pulse Posted November 15, 2017 Share So if you get offered a 2017 Cannondale Slice, with a missing back wheel... nickc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tend to agree that the guy loading the bikes was a cyclist. this sucks, sorry to hear about it.1min23 after breaking the door they are gone, with 6 high end bikes. i don't think you can blame your armed response on this one. what really gets me is that even though it is 3am, there is traffic in the vicinity. maybe a massive strobe light, huge dB siren and anything else on your alarm to that road could help in future deanbean, Skylark and coppi 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milky4130 Posted November 15, 2017 Share inside job perhaps? although not conclusive evidence can you subject your staff to a polygraph test? they might not have comitted the crimes but to check if they had any involvment or knowledge there of? those that have a problem with it might have something to hide. Of course there is the possibility that they might fail the test & be completely innocent. Goodbadugly 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Long Wheel Base Posted November 15, 2017 Share They struggled to open that front door though. Looks like the slice lost a wheel as they smashed it up against the door. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr lee Posted November 15, 2017 Share Not a great clue but the panel van has a loose rubber seal around the top of the sliding door....guy actually tries to fix it while the other one attempts to break the door open. It is hanging down even further just before they make their getaway! You would be really stupid to use the same car to deliver/collect goods to/from the same shop but you never know... Looks to be a VW panel van. Pity the window is obscuring the area where the number plate is shown. People that drove past could have thought that this was the shops delivery vehicle and did not take notice....although it is also strange to see a lonely car in front of a shop in the early hours of the morning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

splat Posted November 15, 2017 Share They way they jammed the last 2 or 3 bikes into the van, I sure there is some damage to the bikes as well.Apart from the one wheel they left behind... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No alarm on the door?And they know the inside of the shop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
