Police have launched an appeal following the theft of multiple Macclesfield bicycles a fortnight ago.

Macclesfield Police officers are appealing for information after two bikes were stolen from a shed in the Bollinbrook area of the town.

At sometime between 5pm on 11 April and 2pm on 13 April, unknown offenders have targeted a shed on Abbotts Close and stolen two mountain bikes.

The first mountain bike is a Santa Cruz 5010 CC in a dark grey colour with a number of 50/1 stickers on the frame. 

A Giant LIV Bike usually sells online for about £500.

The second is a Giant LIV with 'burg-tec' components attached with a black frame and fluorescent yellow stripe. The rear of the frame is metallic blue.

Police are now appealing to anyone with information to please come forward.

Police Constable Dave Wilkinson said: "These bikes are extremely distinctive and I would urge anyone who spots the bikes to please get in touch with us.

"The same goes to anyone who is offered one of these bikes or has seen them for sale.
