Theft Description
I was selling my mountain bike on Facebook Market place. I did not advertise my address but gave it only to one person following an exchange of messages when I thought it was a legitimately interested party. He was meant to view on Thursday 18th July in the evening approx 18:00 but cancelled. He then messaged me on Friday 19th July at approximately 09:30 and asked if he could view that day as he was free. I said i couldn't as I was at work. at about 14:30 the bikes were stolen. During the theftmy father and law and grandfather in law were inside the house fitting a kitchen. My neighbour spotted 3 youths coming down our road (a dead end) in puffer jackets and ski masks. My neighbour then locked his gates thinking they were looking for a shortcut through. He then saw the youths wheeling my road bike (a Cube C62 Agree GTC 2017) and my mountain bike off the drive. He confronted them and was threatened by one of the perpetrators who said he had a knife. By the time my father in law and grandfather in law heard the commotion it was too late and the thieves had made off. The bikes were spotted that day in Easton in Gordano and Pill by two separate people between 15:00 and 15:30. I would therefore assume that the youths caught the bust to Portishead from Bristol so possibly on the X3/X4 earlier that day/just before the theft.
