Father-of-four Aaron Drzystek is appealing to the public to help find his two Yamaha motorbikes after his garage near his house in Steep Close was broken into.

The 29-year-old, who used to race professionally, said: ‘I was absolutely gutted that someone would break in and steal the bikes.

‘I have had the blue bike for a few years and the orange bike since last year and I still can’t believe it has happened.’

No other items were taken from the garage which Aaron had locked up the night before.

Aaron, a HGV driver, said: ‘My wife and kids have been really worrying about it and I just can’t stop thinking about getting my garage more secure before I get another bike.

‘I paid £6,000 for the orange one and £3,000 for the blue one and I would just love to have them back in good condition.’
