A CIRCUS visiting Gravesend this weekend has been forced to cancel its star act after thieves broke into the big top and stole three motorbikes worth £7,000.
The final act at Uncle Sam’s American Circus, which is performing at the Riverside Area in Ordnance Road until Sunday, is the daredevil Medina Riders in the Globe of Death.
Three motorbikes are driven by South American riders around the metal globe at one time at speeds of up to 40mph during the hair-raising act.
