A “distinctive” bicycle has been stolen from outside a Worcester leisure centre.

Police are appealing for information after the Raleigh Shopper bike went missing from outside St John’s Sports Centre at about 10pm on Tuesday, December 12.

West Mercia Police said the bike is of sentimental value to its owner.

Anyone with information about it is asked to email PC Matt Waite at matthew.waite@westmercia.police.uk.

The Shopper, also called the Twenty, was a popular bike manufactured by Raleigh from 1968 until the early 1980s.
