Two teenagers have been caught on CCTV appearing to steal a bike in a busy New Malden road in broad daylight.

The two can be seen in the footage in West Barnes Lane strolling up to the bike, while one apparently cuts the chain and cycles off.

Police have issued an appeal on Facebook to find the culprits.

A spokesperson said: “Someone you know offered a bike on the cheap?

“Your friend been bragging about it?

“Or maybe you were with your friends when it happened.

“Tell us and help us return this bike to its rightful owner.”
