Officers are continuing their enquiries but are appealing for anyone who recognises the man pictured to come forward.

PC Corden added: “Officers work tirelessly to crack down on cycle theft, which cause victims great distress, often leaving them stranded at the station and having to find other means to get home.

“If you recognise the man pictured, please come forward.”
