Im not sure how far a field they went, but if you have had your bike stolen in and around Edinburgh, then you should ask if your bike might have been recovered.
There is not too much info on this yet, but they got arrested for stealing 149 top end road and mtb’s.

Info from my club site.

Just goes to show that high-end bike theft is often organised crime – not a concept that people usually take seriously.

Hmmm, did my 1993 commute / pub bike count as ‘top end’?

Think they’ve made off with your link as well.

Nope, link not stolen!

Must be, they’ve been hoarding it for years 🙂 Glad you got it back.

Good news. Why do I feel surprised that the police have investigated something like bike thefts?

I didn’t, but wonder if they have it…

Update on how they got caught.
