Officers ask anyone who recognise the man in the video to contact them – details below.

PC Jamie Gibson said: “The victim has secured their bike to a cycle rack with a lock, however the lock is cut and the bike is stolen within seconds.

“The CCTV footage demonstrate how thieves can quickly steal a cycle which has a cheap or poor lock. To help deter opportunistic criminals, we strongly recommend using an approved locking device.”
