The theft happened at around 9pm on Saturday June 22 when the victim, a 15-year-old boy, was riding his bike in the green area between Buckingham Park and the Watermead estates when he was approached by two boys on bicycles.

Initially the two boys blocked the victim’s path but he was eventually able to cycle past.

The victim got off his bike and ran towards the main road - the A413.

As he was running he slipped over and one of the boys forced open his clenched fist, taking his bank card and a £10 note before the thieves fled, taking the boy's bike in the process.

The stolen bike is described as a black Apollo Gradient bicycle with two pink stripes on the saddle.
