Thieves have stolen nine off-road motorcycles worth about £80,000 in a ram raid incident in Keighley, police said.

Officers were called to reports a Nissan Juke car had rammed the entrance to Colin Appleyard Motorcycles on Coney Lane shortly after midnight on Wednesday.

Seven people who had travelled in the car and a white Luton van entered the business before loading the bikes into the van and making off towards Park Lane, West Yorkshire Police said.

The force issued CCTV images of the incident and appealed for anyone with information to get in touch.

Det Ch Insp Mark Atkinson said: "If anyone recognises the suspects in the images, please come forward and provide information.

"We are also keen to speak to anyone who might have seen these bikes up for sale on marketplaces on social media."
