POLICE are investigating after two bikes were stolen from a house in Barrow. 

The burglary is believed to have taken place in the early hours of Thursday morning at a house in Steel Street. Two bikes - a black Carrera bike with electric blue detail and a black, white and orange bike, were taken from the back yard.

Police say access was gained by climbing over the back yard wall and then forcing the lock from the inside. The owners of the bikes have posted on Facebook offering a reward in exchange for information which leads to the return of the stolen items.  

Anyone with information is asked to contact police on 101 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
