NISKU, Alta. — The RCMP has recovered nine of 10 expensive bicycles that were stolen earlier this summer from a teenage Malaysian cycling team training in Edmonton.

The bikes — believed to be worth more than $40,000 — were taken from a storage locker at the Argyll Velodrome during a break-in on July 18.

It’s believed the thief or thieves specifically targeted the locker, which contained eight specialized track bikes and two road bikes.

The team had been in Edmonton for about a month when the theft occurred.
