The four bikes were taken out the north entrance and then south Range Road, out of view from surveillance video, police said. Police said there were six suspects, appearing to be ranging in age from teens to early 20’s involved. General manager Curt Greiner said the suspects were “obviously prepared.””They think they are stealing bikes. They are stealing people’s paychecks,” Greiner said. “This is a low-inventory situation. We have hardly any inventory to sell, and they are stealing what little we have.”Nault’s Powersports experienced a similar burglary last May. Greiner said no one has been charged in the break-in, but they made security upgrades. “We got better cameras, better security, but these guys, they are in and out and prepared. They know what they want when they get here. They are on a mission,” Greiner said. “In total, we are probably looking at $100,000 between both hits.”Anyone with information that can help with the investigation is asked to contact Windham police, and they are asking those living in the Range Road neighborhood to check their surveillance video for suspicious vehicles or individuals. This isn’t the first time the business has been burglarized. In May 2021, five dirt bikes worth almost $40,000 were also stolen from the store.
