The owner of a bicycle, which was given as Christmas present only for it to be stolen in a robbery, has been reunited with their bike. Officers from Sutton West Safer Neighbourhoods Team recovered the cycle and brought it into Sutton Police station.
The team's enquiries led to it being purchased from Halfords in Sutton Town Centre. Halfords agreed to check through hundreds of receipts to try and trace the purchaser. The correct receipt was found, the female purchaser contacted and the cycle returned to her son - its rightful owner. A suspect has been arrested in connection with the robbery.
Other incidents in that area of the borough include:
a resident returned to their garage to find marks consistent with an attempted break in at Bridge Road between 12:00hrs on Wednesday, 27 January and 12:00hrs on Thursday, 28 January. Entry wasn’t gained and nothing was taken.
- BT reported that two manhole covers were removed and cable cut in Grove Road last week. It is believed that the copper cable removed and sold for its metal value
