Police are appealing for information about the theft of two cycles from the garden of a house in Stourport-on-Severn.

The grey and black Carrera Kraken men's bike, estimated to be worth £300, and the blue and purple Carrera Sunway women's machine, valued at about £240, were taken between 2pm on Saturday, April 14, and 9am on Monday, April 16.

It is believed the thieves may have lifted the bikes over the fence.

PC Ian White, Kidderminster police's crime reduction officer, said: "Bikes should be kept in locked sheds or garages where possible.

"We advise owners to invest in a good cycle lock and to secure the bike to an immovable object.

"They should also think about having their bike security marked or engraved."

Witnesses, or anyone else who has any information about the thefts, are asked to contact Kidderminster police on 08457 444888.

Alternatively, they can ring Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111.
