Early this morning, thieves smashed into a Southampton motorcycle dealership, stealing £90,000 worth of Aprilia sports bikes. Visordown reported the brazen raid, with security footage showing the use of heavy tools to break in, and the thieves escaping before police arrived.

This incident aligns with a noted 3.9% rise in London thefts (4,269 to 4,434 from 2023 to 2024), suggesting a potential spread of bold tactics to other regions, emphasizing the need for enhanced dealership security.
