Police have recovered 20 bikes in a dawn raid off the A12 near Victoria Park which are suspected to have been stolen.

They have issued pictures of the bikes in an appeal for owners to come forward.

“We’d like to return as many bikes and parts as possible to their owners,” Sgt Robert Aston said. “We are glad to have recovered these bikes.”

A search warrant was used at 5am on Wednesday, October 27, at commercial premises in Wick Lane in Old Ford, an industrial neighbourhood near Hackney Wick.

The raid followed a tip off suggesting stolen bikes were being stored at the premises before selling online.

Officers also recovered £50,000 cash along with the bikes, Scotland Yard confirmed.

A 29-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of handling stolen goods. He was released under investigation.
