An appeal has been launched to recover two stolen bikes.

The expensive mountain bikes were stolen when two sheds were broken into in New Road, Tiptree, overnight on Tuesday or the early hours of Wednesday.

Christina Cox has put photographs of the bikes, belonging to her brother and mother, on Facebook in a bid to track them down.

She wrote: “Please let myself or the police if you see anything or are offered one.”

One bike is a women's GT Avalanche 1.0.

The other is a specialized Hardrock Sport Disc 29 2014 model.
