A break-in at Outbound Cycle in Rutland on Wednesday left the business short some high-end Rocky Mountain and GT bikes, along with t-shirts, Fox hoodies and mountain bike gloves.
Outbound Cycle owner, Glenn LaPlante, says the thieves broke in through an empty business next door.
"They broke into the side-door of the vacant business next door, then busted a hole through the dry-wall and went in and out through there."
LaPlante says their business has been broken into once before. "We're still adding up the damage from this break-in but so far it looks like between $20,000 and $30,000 in merchandise was stolen."
