Bicycles used by youngsters at the Cog Set club based at Salt Ayre Leisure Centre were stolen, although police said some of the bikes had been found nearby.
"Local cycling club Cog Set recently had all their bikes stolen from near to Salt Ayre Leisure Centre and we are appealing to anyone who may have seen or heard anything," said a police spokesperson.
