A gang of hooded thugs with balaclavas rammed into a motorcycle shop with their car before raiding it and stealing nine bikes worth £80,000.
New video captures a Nissan Juke smashing into the front of the shop while in reverse before a person, holding what appears to be a circular saw, cuts into the property’s metal shutters.
Six hooded people in tracksuits can be seen running into the shop and wheeling out nine off-road motorbikes, pushing another bike over in the process.
The thugs, who were wearing balaclavas and gloves, quickly lift and load the bikes into the back of a white Luton Van before driving away.
Police were called to the shop Colin Appleyard Motorcycles in Keighley, North Yorkshire, just after midnight on Wednesday.
Officers from Bradford’s District Crime Team are investigating the brazen burglary and are appealing for witnesses.
They added that they wish to speak to the seven people, which includes the driver, responsible.
Detective Chief Inspector Mark Atkinson said: ‘Extensive enquiries including CCTV are underway to track down the people responsible.
