Police investigations have begun into several break-ins at bicycle shops in East Sussex.

Officers were called around 1am on Sunday (December 13) to reports of a burglary at Evolution Cycles, Meads Street, Eastbourne.

According to Sussex Police, the front window to the store had been smashed and an "Evil Wreckoning" full suspension mountain bike in a dark metallic copper colour was taken from inside.

Although the premises were made secure, it was targeted again around 11.30pm that night.

A "Santa Cruz Heckler" electric cycle was taken from the shop on this occasion.

It’s thought those involved in the burglary were travelling in a white transit van.

Police have asked for information to be reported online or by calling 101 quoting serial 1210 of 13/12.

Around 3.40am on Tuesday (December 15), police received a report of a break-in at Cycle Tech bike shop in Wallsend Road, Pevensey.

It’s thought the burglary happened around 00.31am.

Two bicycles – a Raleigh "Motor Grand Tour" low step bike, and a Mondraker "Dusk RR 29er" electric mountain bike – were taken from inside the premises, alongside computers and a quantity of cash.

A further appeal for information has been made, either online or by calling 101 quoting serial 121 of 15/12.

Police said each burglary is being investigated and officers are considering the possibility the break-ins at the two different premises are linked.
