• Some time last Friday night, two mountain bikes worth about $10,000 were stolen from a Copper Beach Ave address in Frankton.
Police senior intelligence analyst Senior Sergeant Sean Drader said the thieves also went into the house's garage and took associated equipment such as knee pads, shoes, gloves and a grey, black and red full-face helmet.
Snr Sgt Drader described the first bike as a 6-month-old black and white Scott brand, model Gambler, with a Bike Fix shop sticker on it.
The second bike is a black GT brand, model Fury, with red handle-bars. Both were in good condition.
Snr Sgt Drader said there were six bikes leaning up against the house and the thieves left four behind, taking the two most expensive.
He appealed for those in the "mountain bike fraternity" to check similar bikes as police had the serial numbers of the stolen bikes.
"When expensive ones go like this, it's much easier for us to spot and get them back," Snr Sgt Drader said.
• A 52-year-old local man refused to give a blood-alcohol sample to police on Thursday morning when he was pulled over near Lake Hayes Estate.
