A MOTORCYCLIST suffered a double blow when his bike was stolen after an accident.
The 20-year-old Christchurch man left his black Shineray 125cc in a lay-by on the Avon Causeway after a single vehicle crash last Friday.
When he returned the bike had gone.
PC Mat Silvey of Christchurch police said: “It is very distressing for the victim to be firstly involved in a collision and then to have his bike stolen.
“The lay-by is on a very busy road and I am hopeful that someone witnessed the motorbike being recovered. It is possible that the offenders used another vehicle to help them steal the bike.”
The bike was stolen between 1pm on Friday, October 12 and 11am on Sunday, October 14.
He urged witnesses or anyone with information to contact Dorset Police on 101 or the free and anonymous Crimestoppers line on 0800 555111. Mobile phone tariffs may apply.
