Merseyside Police is appealing for witnesses after a motorbike was stolen following a burglary in Southport.

At around 6pm on the evening of Monday 6 February a house on Bankfield Road was entered and keys to a motorbike and two helmets were stolen. The motorbike was then taken from the driveway to the house.

Detectives are completing house-to-house, CCTV and forensic enquiries. They have released pictures of the motorbike and a helmet that were taken in the hope that someone has seen them.

“I would like to remind people to review their security and ensure all windows and doors are locked and not to leave the keys in locks.”
