Quad bikes theft

2:59pm Thursday 8th May 2008

Four quad bikes and a trailer, together worth £6,500, have been stolen in Stourport.

They were taken from the Chadwick Bank business park at about 9pm on Wednesday April 30.

Stolen were a Polaris silver quad bike worth £2,000, a red Honda quad bike worth £1,000, a light blue Yamaha quad bike worth £500, and a light green Kowasaki quad bike worth £1,000.

The trailer was a 16ft silver Ifor Williams flatbed trailer worth £2,000, described as being "unusual" because its wheels were painted black in the middle. It had the registration number J5 CTP.

The blue Yamaha quad bike was found abandoned nearby at the junction of Hartlebury Road and Worcester Road at 9.20pm. Police think it might have fallen off the trailer as it went round the island.

A 4x4 would have been used to tow the trailer, and at least two or three people would have been needed to lift the quad bikes.
