North Yorkshire Police is appealing for information following a Ripon burglary on New Year’s Eve.

The force said in statement today that three men broke into Eurotek Sports Motorcyles, on Camp Hill Close, at around 7.30pm on New Year's Eve.

It added:

"The men, all wearing dark clothing and balaclavas, arrived in a white Ford transit style van, with chevron markings on the rear.
"Officers are appealing for anyone who was in the area at the time, or has information that could assist with the investigation to email gareth.skelton@northyorkshire.police.uk or call North Yorkshire Police on 101, select option 2, and ask for PC Gareth Skelton.
"If you wish to remain anonymous, you can pass information to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
"Quote reference number 12230247331 when passing on information."
