As per their Instagram post:

Absolutely devastated to be writing this, we are a small company with 7 people in total and now more than ever any theft or loss of income is very difficult to deal with.

Our Eversley office was broken into in the early hours of this morning, the following was stolen…

AERIS 9 x 2
1x olive mango large
1 x raw medium

Aether 9
1 x blue medium long

Aether 7
1 x large blue
1 x medium long raw

Image of a person wearing a hoodie and face mask

If anyone recognises this person, feel free to tie him up with gear cables until the police turn up.

Please share as far and wide as possible !

Don't worry, Suella Braverman has told the police to investigate every theft so I'm positive they'll get them all back and the man in the photo will be sufficiently punished with a community order.

Break their hands and fingers, I tried but only managed to break an arm of the scum who stole my bike before the police came

People like this should be liquidised and flushed down the bog.

Why do they always look at the camera directly

Ironically, if they don't look for where the cameras are we don't get the clearest shot of their mugs, unfortunately he's masked up but will probably still wear that top the next day and will probably be recognised because of it, they've usually not got the sense to wear something nobody has seen them in before or the sense to get rid off it afterwards.
They won't get much time if any if or when they do get caught.

TBH 3 people on his street probably have that same top.

Need to reintroduce the death penalty for bike thieves.  But with torture beforehand. And most certainly castration with a blunt rusty spoon to begin with.

I’d quite happily push this kind of knacker out the back of a Hercules, over the North Sea, with no parachute, in February. Aaargh Sploosh Brr Silence.

Hoodie (outer one, he's wearing two) looks like some variant of this https://www.sportsdirect.com/nike-full-zip-tech-fleece-hoodie-mens-550110 . Darker top colour, lighter bottom colour, lighter still hood colour on his inner hoodie with the hood up.

Since we're doing torture, I suggest we pull that face covering down a bit and grind his nose down a bit with the DHR2 on the rear of that Aeris 9. Actually we should reverse the tyre on the rim first so he gets the braking edge rather than the ramped edge.

Guy has been outed by a few people in comments on Bird's Instagram post

. And has bizarrely reposted the CCTV pic in his own Instagram story.

The guy everyone’s tagging is just some young racer. Think it’s a bit of banter with the lads.

Bikesandboots you've probably done more investigating that the police will do 😀, I can't see an actual biker who clearly loves the sport being involved in something so despicable so I'm guessing it's just banter as badfink suggests.

Thieves aren't smart (why they are thieves after all) I remember when Cycle Factory in Tod got ram raided, the bloke had come in earlier (with his daughter in tow, nice) wearing the same clobber when he broke in.

Erm, yeah, because everyone who loves football isn't a hooligan right?
There's scallywags in every walk of life, riding a bike isn't an exception.

Back in the 90's lots of bike thefts in my town (had a few of my own bikes go) and in the end turned in many cases out to be a local rider as he knew locations of bikes..

We've scrapped them, best we can offer is a pedalo from Scarborough.

Is owning them with a set of Bombers no longer on the cards? This place has changed.

Just leaving them in Scarborough is likely worse.

Dangeourbrain thanks for the snarky reply taking my words out of context, this is stw forum after all. I was referring to the kid that's being mentioned on Instagram not making a generalisation, I should've worded it better, just my opinion, could be wrong but I don't think Robin did the robbing. But if it makes you feel better about yourself feel free to take another swipe at me.

Human Rights legislation forbids abandonment in Barton upon Humber or Immingham.
