GIRL, 11, DEVASTATED BY THEFT OF HER BIKE

 

A GIRL has been left devastated after thieves stole her bicycle.
The theft happened between 1am and 2am on Wednesday, from the rear garden of a property in Mount Pleasant Road, Upperby, Carlisle.
The 11-year-old victim told officers it was a light pink British Eagle Kudos mountain bike, with a 24in frame.
Thieves are warned that the bike has been marked with a UV stamp, and also has a Cumbria Police cycle sticker on it.
Police are also investigating the theft of a second bicycle from a rear garden in Mount Pleasant Road overnight on Thursday. On that occasion, thieves stole a woman’s red Raleigh mountain bike worth about £50.
Officers are reminding residents never to leave property in a rear garden, even if there is a gate, but always to lock them away.
Anyone with any information should call 101.
