Theft of 133 Merida bikes
On Thursday 12th May a 40’ container retrieved from Southampton port and on its way to our logistics facility in Felixstowe was broken in to and 133 bikes were stolen.
Our logistics partner instructs all drivers to only park at secure facilities. The theft took place at Fleet services on the M3 a secure lorry park equipped with CCTV and ANPR.
Despite the security arrangements thieves cut through the container locks and offloaded 133 of the 210 bikes.

Lorry crime is a growing problem and there have been cases of drivers being gassed in their cabs to keep them asleep. Thankfully our driver was unharmed, he has followed procedure and provided as much evidence as possible to the police.
Our logistics partner is working with the lorry park operator and the police to try and trace the criminals.
Thankfully, this is the first such theft in over 20 years for Merida, and was the result of random targeting as nobody could know what was in the container.
Below is a full list of the stolen bikes and their frame numbers.
