Police in Aldershot are appealing for information after six bicycles were stolen from a shed in the town on Saturday, May 30.

Sometime between 1.30am and 7am a shed at an address in Holly Road was broken into.

The hand made bicycles, which are worth around £6,000, were then stolen.

PCSO Vicky Higgins, of the Aldershot Safer Neighbourhoods Team, said: "The owner is extremely keen to have these bikes returned and we would ask anyone with information to contact police as soon as possible.

"Residents are reminded to ensure their homes, sheds and garages are as secure as possible at all times to combat this kind of crime."

Hampshire Constabulary offers the following advice:

• Make sure your garage or shed is fitted with a good strong lock, padlock, door hinges or other security device.
• Ensure that glass in any windows to garages or sheds is secure and that you have window locks fitted if appropriate. You could consider putting up curtains to prevent anyone seeing the contents of your garage or shed.
• Do not store large quantities of valuables in your shed/garage. Consider other forms of storage.
• Large items can be padlocked together or you could sink a post into the floor of the garage or shed and padlock any items to that post.
• If your garage is not in regular use, ensure that you visit it regularly to check for any signs of damage, or ask a neighbour or friend to keep an eye on it.
• If you rent your garage, check with your landlord for permission before making any changes to the property.
• Consider security lighting if appropriate.
• Check with your insurance company that you are covered for items stored in your shed/garage.
• Fit battery operated shed alarms and mark your property to enable it to be returned should it be stolen and recovered.
