The owner of a motorcycle repair shop has posted a shocking video of a gang of ‘kids’ using a circular saw to defeat his £10,000 security system.
The trio were able to overcome or ignore nine separate security devices and systems to cut their way in and steal three motorbikes worth a combined £12,000.
Mitch Boyland, from Bristol, tried to protect his premises with metal shutters, a ‘master blaster’ alarm system, smoke machine, perimeter alarm, internal alarm, and high definition CCTV.
Also ‘protecting’ his business were ‘Viper’ engine immobilisers, ram bars to strengthen the shutters, and mag locks which use electromagnetic force to stop doors opening.
But none of the security measures were enough to prevent the trio simply sawing their way through the shutters and casually wheeling the bikes away in the early hours of Tuesday morning.
Mitch posted online: ‘This morning at 2:50 Technical Solution was hit by three kids.
‘Please, moto family, let’s find out who they are, and get the bikes back. Please share.’

Police today confirmed they are investigating the incident, which left Mitch with a £4,500 repair bill on top of the value of the bikes
The video shows three individuals, one carrying a circular saw, running towards the shop entrance in the middle of the night.
The thug with the saw starts cutting through the metal shutters as sparks fly in all directions.
After just 90 seconds of sawing the crooks break-in and start to look for the bikes.
