Bicycles worth thousands of pounds have been stolen from an address in Horsham.

The four bicycles are thought to be particularly high-value, with the combined value of the bikes standing at between £10,000 and £12,000.

The bikes were reported stolen after being taken from a property in Old House Lane in Southwater.

Sussex Police have released an appeal to find the bikes which it is suspected may be put up for sale in the future.

Pictures of the bikes have also been released to help members of the public to identify them.

One of the bikes, from cycling brand Specialized, are described as “chameleon green” whilst another, from the same brand, is white with red detailing and black writing.

The other bikes are from Giant, a grey bike with green writing, and Lapierre, described as green and black.

The bikes were taken while being stored in an outbuilding at the property.

Investigating officers hope that by releasing pictures the bikes will be recognisable if they are spotted either being ridden or up for sale.

Anyone who has any information that could assist the ongoing investigation is asked to contact police online or by calling 101 quoting serial 280 of 19/07.
