A group of thieves raided a dealership in the UK and made off with a shipment of Aprilia motorcycles worth over $120,000.
According to local media outlets, four thieves broke into Dearden Motorcycles at the Hardley Industrial Estate in England during the early hours of August.
The gang took just 20 minutes to force the front door open and break a reinforced glass in the process. Once inside, they sprayed the security cameras with paint and grabbed seven Aprilias.
They then loaded the bikes into a van they apparently brought specifically for the heist and left just 10 minutes after entering the store.
“They went straight for the Aprilias, so they knew exactly what they wanted,” said Julie Bentley, sales manager at Dearden Motorcycles, to the Advertiser and Times.
“The economic climate is already tough enough for any business, but we’re a small independent business. You do your best to make it work, and then you have people like this coming in thinking they can do whatever they want.”
