TEN motorbikes and two helmets were stolen after thieves broke into a St Albans company on Sunday evening.
Four young men are thought to be responsible for the theft from Trail World - an off-road tour company - in Brick Knoll Park at around 9.20pm.
One of the motorbikes stolen, a black and gold Sherco 5.1i, registration number LK08 JRV, and one of the helmets, a KLIM F4 are the only ones of their kind in the UK.
In addition four Honda bikes, three Yamahas, a Beta and an unregistered Sherco were stolen in the raid.
It is thought the thieves entered the building three times in the night and wheeled the bikes round to a van to make their getaway.
Pc Marc Capicotto from St Albans Police Station said: "We are treating this incident extremely seriously and I am appealing for the public's help in tracing the stolen bikes and those responsible.
