POLICE are appealing for people who have had bikes stolen to check if they are among those recovered.

They were seized in an operation by Darlington police in June.

Police are asking the owners, all of whom did not report the bikes missing, to see if they can identify their property.

"We have about a dozen or so here, from motorbikes to good quality racing bikes and mountain bikes," a police spokesman said.

Images of the bikes can be viewed at Darlington police station.
