Police seek information on stolen bicycles

The Edmonton Police Service is seeking information about the theft of several unique bicycles from a southeast Edmonton cycling facility this week.

On Wednesday, July 18, 2018 Southeast Division officers responded to the report of a break-and-enter at a cycling facility in the area of 68 Avenue and 88 Street.

 

It was reported to police that thieves had broken into a storage area at the facility during the overnight hours of Tuesday, July 17, 2018. When staff attended the facility the next morning they noticed the damage to the storage area and discovered that 10 bicycles and associated equipment were missing.

 

“We believe the bikes were stolen between 9 p.m. on Tuesday, July 17, 2018 and 8:30 a.m. on Wednesday, July 18,” says Acting Staff Sgt. Gulinosky with Southeast Division. “If anyone noticed any suspicious activity during this time period, we would love to speak with them.”

 

Several of the stolen bicycles, and much of the associated equipment, reportedly belonged to an international racing team that is training in the Edmonton area. As a result, some of the bicycles are specialized for track and road racing and differ greatly from a standard bicycle used for recreational purposes. Investigators are hopeful that someone may recognize them for these unique features and have included stock photos of the stolen bicycles and equipment below.

Officers continue to investigate. No suspects have been identified at this time.

 

Anyone who has information about this crime is asked to contact the EPS at 780-423-4567 or #377 from a mobile phone. Anonymous information can also be submitted to Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or online at www.p3tips.com/250.
