Brazen motorcycle theft caught on tape

BECHTELSVILLE, Pa. - April 22, 2011

Police are hoping the surveillance video will help lead to the gang who hit a Boyertown motorcycle dealer on Sunday, April 17th.

The video from YouTube shows five men backing a van up to a door at Martin's Motorsports, breaking through the door, and then walking out with five motorcycles and other merchandise worth an estimated $60,000.

They stuffed it all into the van, and then drove off.

Owner Dennis Martin released the video, saying he believes other dealers in the area might also be targeted by the five men, who appear to have planned the theft.

Police say the men were wearing dark pants and hooded sweatshirts, some wore baseball caps.

Anyone who may have seen the men or the van in the area is asked to contact Colebrookdale Police at 610-367-5550.
