    I live in Leam,though overseas right now, been in BY a few times (not bought anything, bit pricey for me - bah humbug), will keep an eye out but maybe he's not local?

    Apparently it's the same guy who knicked an Enduro from Mike Vaughn's in Kenilworth - even if he doesn't live local, he seems to be operating in the area. If I were John Atkins, I'd be getting out the bear traps...

    He should get caught pretty easily, if the police can be arsed! But they might be busier giving tickets out!

    Going on a photo and that info, love to know how you think the Police will catch him quick?

    Doubt he's from the Leam area, probably further afield, after all if your turning over £4K bikes a few quid for fuel is nothing.

    Not as of yet... All i know is that he has been caught...

    He stole over £25k worth of high end bikes in just a couple of weeks..

    I'll keep you all updated with the progress..

    Hopefully will get court dates and times of trial too for anyone who want to go and yell some abuse.. ;)
