Warning as 'organised' criminals blamed for spate of thefts in Bulwell

A motorcyclist has issued a warning after he says thieves using sophisticated equipment stole his bike in Nottingham. The man, who wishes to remain anonymous, says he believes multiple other people were also targeted around the same time overnight on Saturday, April 23, through into Sunday morning.

Despite properly securing his bike at the property in Bulwell, he says a group of men who turned up and were captured on CCTV were able to use equipment to steal it within minutes. After posting about the experience on social media, in the hope of warning others about what happened and possibly finding his bike, he says multiple other people messaged to say a similar thing had happened to them around the same time.

He told Nottinghamshire Live: "I came outside in the morning to see it had been stolen. I was obviously gutted, that's a huge part of my life and my hobby - the only thing that helped was that I was handed my newborn straight away, which made me feel better.
