    No point having shutters if the actual building is so easy to breach 🙁



    A total of 40 valuable carbon fibre bikes were taken from the building.

    All of the bikes were either Giant, Trek or Specialized models and a number of pieces of Endura, Pearl and Izumi items of clothing were also stolen.

    To get into the building, the thieves blocked off a public footpath with security fencing, erected a screen to shield their activities then demolished a breeze block wall (pictured).

    Well known entry technique, quite af ew units round here where broken into same way a few years ago they also went through all the internal walls from one to another, breeze blocks dont stop much getting in.

    Thats rather sad to see…looks like they knew what they were after and how to get it. Must have taken quite a bit of hardware to cut through all that

    40 bikes? I wonder what the police response time to the callout was… not good I guess!

    how do you prevent someone smashing through a – once thought sturdy – wall?! build a steel cage within it?

    There is a product already on the market that can detect knocking and vibrations that gets fitted to high security buildings. I guess it’s one of those things that you don’t ever think about until it happens.
