The pedal cycle is a black coloured Carrera mountain bike which has an orange/ rose-gold coloured trim and wording. A photo of the bike is attached for your awareness, but also now has the following modifications…a set of lights attached and also a d-lock holder attachment of the frame

If you have any CCTV footage (including video doorbell), saw anyone acting suspiciously in the area around this time or have any information about the offenders please contact the police on the non-emergency number 101 quoting occurrence ref: 26*129714.

To reduce the risk of your pedal cycle being stolen, please read through the below advice

Contact your local Neighbourhood Team to arrange for your cycle to be marked, or visit a bike marking event.

You have spent money on your cycle, so buy the best quality lock you can. View the attachment to see which standard of lock is best for you.

Try and double lock your cycle, this will allow you to secure the frame and both wheels to a cycle stand.

Lock your cycle, even when it is at home, consider alarms and additional security for sheds.

Only leave your cycle in public if you really need to, consider using a cycle hub.
