Nottingham: Footage released after £22,000 worth of bikes stolen in armed robbery

Detectives investigating an armed robbery in which four electric bikes were stolen have released images of two people they would like to track down.

A group of masked men entered Rutland Cycling, in Nottingham Road, New Basford, and used scissors to remove the high-value bikes, which were attached by cables to a display.

When questioned, the offenders threatened the employees with scissors, as well as a Stanley knife and a bicycle helmet, which they removed from the premises and later stole.

The group then fled with the electric bikes – totalling £22,200 in value – down Nottingham Road.

The robbery took place at 4:30 pm on June 11.

Detective Daniel Maddick said:

“Thankfully, the staff were not injured, but this was a terrible ordeal for them and left them shaken.

“We are conducting a number of lines of inquiry to track down those responsible and I would urge anyone with any information that could help us to get in touch.

“As part of our investigation, we are releasing images of two people we would like to speak to in relation to this incident.

“If you recognize them, please contact us as soon as possible.”
