WINDHAM, NH — Police in Windham are asking for the public's help to find out who stole five motorcycles from a local dealership on Saturday.
Around 7 a.m., police were sent to Naults Powersports on Range Road for a report of a door that appeared to be damaged at the closed business. The glass door of the store, near the showroom, had been smashed and reported by a witness.
"After officers searched the interior of the building, a representative was called to the scene and determined a theft of multiple dirt bikes had occurred," according to Capt. Michael Caron of the Windham Police Department.

Video from the store showed that around 1:30 a.m., an older model Honda CR-V pulled up to the side of the building. Several people exited the SUV and used "large rocks" to smash the glass door, he said.
"Once inside the building several bikes were immediately wheeled out the same door," Caron said. "All the dirt bikes were equipped with an electric start allowing them to be driven out of sight of the surveillance system."
