Police are appealing for witnesses after four youths pushed a cyclist off his bike before stealing it.

The victim, who was with a friend, was cycling along Trinity Road towards the underpass at Wandsworth roundabout at 10.30pm on Thursday, June 26 when the incident happened.

A police spokeswoman said: “As they approached the underpass, four black, male youths jumped out. One of these males pushed the victim from his bike and another male took the bike.”

The four youths made off across Trinity Road into Nantes Close and were seen running through the underpass.

The suspects are described as 13-14-years-old, wearing hooded tops, one of which was red. One of the youths had a white dog with him.
