Dear Resident,

At 2.30am on 11/12/2024, the resident of an address on Bolton Hall Road, Shipley became aware of intruders in their cellar. The victim sees two males wheeling his motorbike away from the address and gives chase. The two suspects were wearing balaclavas and gloves and dropped the motorbike on the floor before continuing their escape on foot. 

The victim continues to give chase and sights the suspect enter a light coloured squared "old shape" transit van outside the Community Centre on Gaisby Lane. The van had its rear doors open and another motorcycle could be seen inside. The van made off at speed up Gaisby Lane towards the roundabout with Festival Avenue. 

If anyone has any good quality CCTV of the incident please contact West Yorkshire police on tel…101 and quote crime occurrence 13240672544.

Thank you.
