Thieves targeted a motorcycle shop in the second raid on it in six weeks.

Four men, wearing balaclavas and hoods, charged at the door of TTR Motorcycles in Hans Avenue in Wantage and barged their way in after using a crowbar to weaken it yesterday at 2.15am.

Once inside they removed a yellow 90 Quad bike worth £750 and a yellow RM65 Suzuki motocross bike worth £1,500. The second machine was chained to a hydraulic platform but one of the raiders picked up both and walked out of the shop.

After ramraiders struck in early January, bollards were installed along the parking area in front of the shop.

Manager Troy Thomas, pictured, said: "How the man managed to lift and carry out the bike and the platform amazes me because I can hardly lift the platform let alone the machine as well."

William Loveridge, 32, Little Bury, in Blackbird Leys, was charged with burglary over the first incident.
