"The vehicles were taken during two separate burglaries, on Thursday, July 13, and Friday, July 21, from a local business," says a police spokesperson.

"Police are seeking any information from people who may have seen a UBCO electric motor bike, particularly a khaki green model, or a GoScoot electric scooter left in an unusual place or if someone in your neighbourhood has recently acquired one.
