"We are keen to hear from anyone who has seen or has been offered the stolen bikes as pictured on the right. These are: a Kawasaki KX250 YCF in lime green and a Honda CR250 in red.

"The motorcycles have no registration plates on them and a child's blue off-road motorbike was also taken in the burglary, in addition to the two push bikes.

"I would appeal to anyone who is involved in the off-road biking scene and knows the whereabouts of these bikes to call us so we can return them to their owner."
