Husqvarna Racing bikes stolen

Between the hours of midnight and 4.30am this morning, three Husqvarna Racing Team enduro bikes – including one belonging to star rider Glenn Kearney -- were stolen from a transporter parked at Mermaid Beach on the Gold Coast.

The transporter was packed and ready to leave first thing this morning to travel to Adelaide for the final two rounds of the 2012 Australian Off-Road Championship this weekend.

The three bikes are factory built and highly modified -- basically irreplaceable. A reward is on offer for information leading to the successful recovery of these motorcycles.
