Stolen bicycles may have been sold on Facebook

Police appeal for help tracing bikes stolen in Douglas area

Police believe a series of bicycles stolen over a period of several months may have been sold on social media.

The Isle of Man Constabulary is investigating a spate of thefts in the Douglas area between June and earlier this month.

Officers say a number of the bikes remain outstanding, and believe they may have been advertised and sold using Facebook Marketplace.

A video showing the stolen bicycles has been published on the Constabulary's Facebook page.

Anyone who believes they may be in possession of a stolen bike, or who has information on the whereabouts of any of them is urged to contact Police Headquarters on 631212.
