A bright green Mongoose bike like this went missing from Brownhills on Monday afternoon. Do you recognise it?

Hey – this is important. It seems bike thieves are still operating in Brownhills, and on Monday, 1st June 2015 they took a green Mongoose mountain bike from the rear of the Greggs sore in Brownhills High Street, where it had been locked up.

The bike disappeared between 3:00 and 3:30pm. The owner used it to ride to work, and is very upset at the loss. This seems awfully similar to the lad who had his bike lifted from outside Downes newsagents a couple of months ago.

The bike is bright green, and looks like the one in the picture above. If you know someone that’s suddenly pitched up with a bike matching that description that you feel could be the one in question, please do contact West Midlands Police by dialling 101 or speak to Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
