A Langford Bicycle shop is facing rising insurance costs after falling victim to its fourth break-in with over $30,000 in stolen bikes.
A Langford bicycle shop is facing rising insurance costs after continued break-ins have resulted in the theft of at least $30,000 worth of merchandise.
Shop mechanic, Kevin Wilson, says that thieves rammed the back of a truck into one of their entrances, breaking the glass. They then stole three electric bikes which Wilson says are worth over $30,000 in damages.The shop’s previous break-ins mostly dealt with regular bikes and they have put up steel bars on the windows and doors to deter further incidents, but when a truck smashed its rear end through the front — there’s little that can be done.
CHEK has reached out to authorities, but it’s unclear if there’s even a suspect in relation to this theft. “The safety and security of our retailers and guests is a main priority and our property team works closely with local law enforcement and security teams to support our retailers,” said Hannah Wanlin, QuadReal Property Group.Sign up for our newsletter to get breaking news and daily digests sent to your email.With insurance premiums rising, the shop is worried they’ll have to change the way they do business.
