Motorbikes worth 'five-figure sum' stolen during break-in

The bikes were stolen during break-ins to business units in Muir Place between 6pm and 6.30pm on Wednesday.

Detective Constable Sam Plastow of Livingston CID said: “Two KTM 450 SX-F motorbikes were stolen worth a five-figure sum.

"It is believed that a white van may have been used to carry one of the motorbikes away from the business units and the other being pushed away.”

One motorbike is orange and grey with the lettering LAURIS on the front and side.

The second is orange with METAL MULISHA and ROCKSTAR ENERGY stickers on the front and side.

Detective Constable Plastow added: “Enquiries into this incident are currently ongoing. However, if anyone was in the area around the time and saw anything that may assist this investigation we are keen for them to get in contact as soon as possible.

“I would also urge anyone who has seen motorbikes matching the description or has noticed them being advertised for sale, or has any information about the location of the bikes to make us aware.

“Police Scotland can be contacted on 101 quoting incident 2772 of Wednesday 30th of December 2020, or anonymously through Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.”
