A picture of the two-wheeler was later posted on the company’s Facebook page saying: “Unit was raided at 11pm last night. Make this too hot to handle.”

Boss Pete Hampson asked that anyone knowing of the motorbike’s whereabouts could contact him.

Wigan Today contacted Seatskinz, which specialises in individualising vehicles, including personalising car seats, for further details but at the time of publication, no-one had responded.

Police can also be contacted on 101 or the freephone Crimestoppers line anonymously on 0800 555111.
