Wiltshire Police have issued an update regarding an alleged motorbike theft in Swindon, following numerous sightings of the stolen vehicle. 

The incident happened on March 23, when two thugs broke into a property on Arabian Avenue, just after midnight.

Within minutes the suspects left with the 2020 Sherco SEF factory enduro bike.

Jack Groves, 32, caught the culprits committing the alleged crime on his ring doorbell camera.

Speaking to the Adver not long after the incident, Mr Groves said: “My wife is scared to sleep now, she's a nervous wreck. We have a 2-year-old that sleeps in a coach house so if they wanted too they could just walk into the house, but luckily the door was locked.”

Since the incident occurred, numerous sightings of the motorbike have taken place during the last few weeks.

On March 23, the vehicle was spotted at the junction of Wootton Bassett Road and Redposts Drive at 11:44am.

Other rumoured sightings of the motorbike include Marlowe Drive, Thamesdown Drive and the Manor Farm pub.
