Theft Of Electric Bikes: Sometime on Saturday night during the balloon glow, two electric bikes were stolen from the Showground. It appears bolt cutters were used to remove the two electric bikes from a visiting caravan and they were ridden away. What a sad way to end such a wonderful week. We encourage those responsible to return the bikes to their owners. If you see anyone with a newly ‘acquired’ electric bike, or see an electric bike dumped on the golf course or showground, after a joyride please report it. We are hoping this won’t discourage people from far and wide, coming to the balloon festival and enjoying our wonderful town.
