CYCLISTS are warned to be on their guard after brazen thieves
stole a bike in broad daylight last week.
The Giant-brand bicycle had been chained up outside Chelmsley
gym last Wednesday (May 21) evening, when it was cut loose by two youths with
bolt-cutters.
The theft happened around 7pm
in the evening, while the owner was visiting the facility.
It’s understood that the culprits were caught on CCTV,
although they were wearing hats and hoods at the time.
Police neighbourhood teams in Chelmsley Wood and Castle
Bromwich have reported a recent increase in the theft of pedal cycles.
While the thieves came prepared in this latest incident,
police have said that using a chain or wheel lock is nonetheless a deterrent to
opportunists.
If you have any information about the theft call officers on
101.
