Appeal after motorbike theft this morning

Police are appealing for information after the theft of a KTM690 motorcycle (pictured) from an address on Southbank Road in Southport at approximately 03:00am this morning, Friday 6th August.

Enquiries have been made in the local area, but we are appealing to anyone with CCTV or dash cam footage that may have captured the offenders as they made off, pushing to bike towards Town Lane. A silver car seen at the same time may also be involved.

Residents will be aware that this is the latest in a string of thefts of motorcycles, and particularly of motorcycles that are left chained up in front of houses. If you have a motorcycle kept like this, please consider if you can find a more secure location for your bike. 

Investigations into this and the other recent motorcycle thefts are ongoing. If you have any information which you think could help these investigations please contact us on 101 or via https://crowd.in/v0c2nf

Alternatively you can call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111
