Wiltshire Police are appealing for witnesses following the robbery of a teenage cyclist in Swindon.
The incident happened at around 10.15pm on Tuesday, 22 July, near Grange Leisure Centre on Grange Drive, when a 15-year-old boy was reportedly pushed from his bicycle by two men riding an electric Surron bike.
The suspects then stole the teenager’s bicycle, described as a black Cannondale Jekyll mountain bike with distinctive blue and green trim, before leaving the scene.
Police say the first suspect is described as white, wearing grey shorts, no top and a balaclava. The second is also described as white and was dressed entirely in black clothing with a balaclava.
Officers are now asking anyone who witnessed the incident, saw the suspects in the area or has CCTV, doorbell or dashcam footage which could assist the investigation to come forward.
Anyone with information is asked to contact Wiltshire Police on 101, quoting crime reference 54260088705. Information can also be passed anonymously to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
Police have confirmed this appeal replaces an earlier version of the press release and have asked media outlets to disregard the previous information.
