Dear Resident,

We are appealing for information regarding a stolen mountain bike.

The bike was stolen yesterday morning at 06:30. A male stole the bike whilst the owner was doing their paper round.

We have arrested a 35-year-old man from Southampton on suspicion of theft. He remains in police custody at the current time.

The bike is a Voodoo, Bizango black & Orange. Scratch at the front of the handlebars on the right side by the front brake. The bars are black and the seat looks almost velvet.

If you see this bike or know of it's whereabouts then please call 101 and quote reference number 44240181288. alternatively you can go on the Hampshire Constabulary website and report it to us there.

We are keen to get this bike back for the victim so please help us if you can.

Kind regards,

PCSO Newman 18113
