00:00 A Clyro business has been forced to close its doors for good after a second theft cleared them of most of their stock,
00:06 including a bike for their young son, Mason.
00:08 Matthew, who owns MDMX, a motorsport shop in Clyro, woke up this week to discover that all of his new stock,
00:15 including helmets, gloves and clothes, were taken.
00:18 It's estimated that he has lost thousands so close to Christmas.
00:22 A business next door to his, known as Lee Walters Off-Road Training, also had a bike stolen in the same robbery.
00:29 Writing on Facebook, Matthew said, "MDMX is closed. Again, thieves strike and this time they have taken my son's bikes,
00:37 all our new stock of helmets and everything else. This is the end."
00:41 Matthew had bought a bike for his son, which was stolen and loaded into a vehicle on the A438 road.
00:47 Matthew said, "Please, if someone saw a vehicle parked on the old road Clyro that leads to the River Y track
00:53 early hours Wednesday morning or late Tuesday evening, please get in touch."
00:58 It's not the first time Matthew has had stock stolen from his business.
01:01 Just over three years ago, thieves targeted his business, but he was able to bounce back from it.
01:06 It's been a rough road to grow his business, but Matthew found the strength to continue from the customer support over the years.
01:12 David Powers Police have confirmed that police have received the report and are investigating.
01:18 The friends of Matthew's partner, Claire, have put together a fundraiser for the family so that they can afford to buy Mason a new bike.
01:25 Now, Matthew is hoping that the culprits can be found.
