Powys bike shop targeted by thieves who stole electric bikes
The manager of a community bike shop in Newtown says he is "very disappointed" after thieves broke in and stole electric bikes. Bike to the Future, located near to The Hafren theatre in Pen Dinas, Llanidloes Road, was found broken into on this morning (Tuesday, August 12). Intruders smashed the front door glass pane and are understood to have stolen four electric bicycles during the raid. Project manager Tom Chandler has spoken to the County Times about the incident. "I haven't been inside the workshop to see any further damage as we're currently waiting for scene of crime officers. "There is CCTV which shows the perpetrator, which I haven't seen myself, but police are on the case. "We anticipate that we've had four electric bikes stolen." Tom added: "We anticipate we'll repair the damage to our door and be up and running ready to serve on Thursday (August 14). "We've been here since 2016 and it's quite a secure premises. It's the first time we've had any experience of this kind before." Despite the upset caused by the break-in, Tom praised the local community for their support. "It's very gratifying to read on Facebook the many notes of goodwill. It's lovely that we do have a supportive community." He added: "It's clearly very disappointing and I do hope that this doesn't affect the service we provide in the community. Going forward we can build on this and hopefully be better and bigger in the future." Bike to the Future offers bicycle repairs at its Pen Dinas site in Llanidloes Road from Tuesday to Friday between 9.30am to 4.30pm.
