Police are appealing for information after a unique motorcycle frame was stolen from a garage in Gillingham.

The incident happened overnight between Monday, June 12 and Tuesday, June 13 at an address on Bay Road.

A number of items were stolen including motorcycle parts, tools, a model aircraft, drones and other technical equipment.

In particular, a bespoke motorbike racing frame of high value was taken.

Police Sergeant James Francis, of North Dorset police, said: "The images I am releasing are of the first prototype of the motorcycle frame that the victim has provided, but they look very similar to the frame that was taken. I would ask anyone who knows the whereabouts of the frame, or has been offered such items for sale, to please let us know.

"We believe the offenders may have used a 4x4 or a van to transport the stolen objects and that it would have taken at least two people to carry some of those items.

"I would appeal to anyone who witnessed any suspicious behaviour during the relevant times to please contact Dorset Police."
