Masked thieves have broken into the newly opened 3T factory and stolen 20 bikes.

The theft happened on Monday morning at the bike and component company’s headquarters in Lombardy, Italy.

A group of six to eight people gained entry to the warehouse by drilling a hole through a one-meter thick wall.

Thieves stole 20 bikes including a custom painted Exploro, done by Italian frame builder Dario Pegoretti who died in recent months.

A statement from 3T, posted on Instagram, said: “Only a couple of weeks ago we proudly shared the news about our new factory building with you – a place where warehouse, office and the production of the 3T Torno sits under the same roof.

“This morning however, six to eight masked people entered our factory building after drilling a hole through a one-meter thick wall to enter our warehouse.

“We are shocked at the professionalism of the thieves and appreciate any information to help identify the thieves or locate our bikes.”

Both Strada and Exploro model bikes were stolen in the raid, and 3T are asking anyone with information to help identify the thieves or find the bikes.
