Thieves have stolen bikes to the value of £6,000 from a local bike shop on Granton Road.
The thieves struck at 2.20am on Tuesday morning and locals reported hearing glass smashing before seeing two men cycle of on the bikes.
A Giant Trance X0 29er, worth around £3500 – one of only two in Scotland, and a Diamondback Sortie 3, worth around £2400 were taken in the robbery. The thieves also stole the money that was left in the till.
The owner of the shop, Neil Hope, has offered a reward on Facebook for the recovery of the bikes.
He said “The thieves stole the two most expensive bikes in the shop, there will be a reward for the recovery of the bikes or for information that leads to the thieves being caught.”
Lothian and Borders Police are appealing for witnesses to the break-in and are asking anyone with information to contact them on 0131 311 3131.
