Cornwall Scooter Centre robbery – let’s find these 6 scooters | NEWS

#4 Spanish Li modified to take GP panels Frame number: 150LI-070261- Registration NYC 24E

During the early hours of Bank Holiday Monday, Cornwall Scooter Centre was broken into and robbed. Six classic scooters (belonging to customers) were taken in the robbery, the shop safe was also broken into.

The robbery appears to be a targeted professional job and the thieves had obviously been into the shop before, they knew exactly how to break the lock and what they were looking for once inside. Shop owner, Graeme Lake told us “We are waiting on the police checking the other businesses CCTV along the road, ours didn’t pick much up. It looks like a professional job and by someone who had been in the shop before, like every scooter shop, every Tom, Dick and Harry comes in!”
