Police Appeal After Indian World‑Tour Rider’s Bike and Passport Stolen in Nottingham

The theft halted Yogesh Alekari’s 24,000‑km journey, prompting him to seek emergency papers from Indian officials.

Overview

  • Nottinghamshire Police issued a public appeal and say multiple inquiries are under way to trace the KTM 390 Adventure stolen on 28 August from Wollaton Park.
  • CCTV and witness video show three to four thieves breaking locks and riding the motorbike away flanked by mopeds in daylight.
  • The bike held most of Alekari’s belongings and documents, including his passport, laptop and cameras, with losses reported at over £15,000.
