PC Sydnie Grace, who is investigating, said: “Thankfully, two of the bicycles have since been recovered, but there is still one outstanding.

“I am appealing to anyone who may recognise the pit bicycle pictured – it is quite distinctive due to the bright orange colour. Perhaps you have seen it somewhere local, or you have been offered it for sale? We would very much like to reunite the owner with their property.

“If you have seen the bicycle, or have any information that you think may assist with our enquiries, please get in touch.”
