We’re appealing for the public’s help after a high value bike was stolen at knife point in Abbots Leigh.
At approximately 10.45am on Wednesday (October 29) the victim was cycling along the cycle track in Leigh Woods when he was stopped by two men – one of whom was also on a bike.
The other man demanded the victim hand over his bike and was seen to hold a knife in his hand.
He then took the bike from the victim and both suspects the cycled off in the direction of the towpath. From here they would have either turned left towards Pill or right towards the Cumberland Basin area.
The suspect holding the knife is described as white, in his mid-20’s, of a medium build and between 5ft 10ins and 6ft tall. He had short cropped black hair and was clean shaven. He was wearing black shell suit jogging bottoms and a grey hooded top.
The second suspect was a white male of a similar age, build and height to the first offender.
The stolen bike is a silver/grey Ghost Northshore model. It has GHOST written on the frame in black which also has blue, black and pink stickers on it. The saddle is black and blue and the handles are black with black and grey grips.
Anyone with information regarding the incident or who may know the location of the bike is asked to contact PC David Cousins on 101 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 where information can be left anonymously.
