Gardaí seek owner of recovered stolen BMX in Kilkenny

A BMX bike was recovered on 13 February 2025 in Kilkenny from a person whom Gardaí said had less than a full claim to ownership. The sources do not give the date of the theft, or the age, sex, nationality or name of the person. On 19 February 2025 Gardaí posted a Facebook appeal to help locate the bike's owner. No arrest, charge, court appearance or sentence is reported, so the latest development is that the owner was still being sought.
