CCTV footage being looked at to try and identify the shameless thief

An appeal for help has been requested by Lincolnshire Police following the theft of a man’s bicycle as he was suffering from a medical episode. CCTV footage is now being looked at as part of the investigation.

The incident occurred on the High Street in Lincoln, on Tuesday, January 10 at around 5.30pm, at the junction with Tentercroft Street.

The victim was suffering from a seizure at the time of the theft. When he’d recovered from the seizure, he noticed that his bicycle had been stolen.

The victim’s bike has been described as a Carrera Vulcan, with a colour combination of orange with yellow stripes and is said to be very distinctive.

The City Centre Inspector from Lincolnshire Police, Inspector Pat Coates, said he couldn’t believe that this had really happened.

“Someone has really stooped low to steal a bike from a rider who is suffering a medical episode,” said Inspector Coates.

Lincolnshire Police are urging members of the public to come forward with any information they might have in connection with the incident, in which a vulnerable man was taking advantage of whilst suffering from a seizure.

CCTV footage from around the scene of the crime is now being looked at, in the hope officers will be able to identify the shameless thief who stole the bicycle.

The police are appealing for anyone who might be offered the distinctive orange bicycle for sale to come forward.

Lincolnshire Police are asking for anyone with information about the theft to call them on 101.

The victim was already having a tough day when his bicycle was stolen from him in such a cowardly and distasteful way. Please get in touch if you can help.
