Police would like to speak to him in connection with the theft of a bike between Manchester Victoria and Castleton Railway Station.

Inspector Michelle Wedderburn said: “Sadly bikes can be a popular target for thieves but there are lots of things people can do to make sure their property is adequately marked and secured.

“It is important to remember to register your bike and ensure a solid lock is used to secure it. If a bike is adequately marked, it makes it much easier to identify and therefore helps reduce the risk of becoming a victim of bike theft.

”BTP officers regularly conduct cycle crime awareness surgeries at stations across the North West to offer crime prevention advice and mark bikes.

“We also target stations with covert and overt policing operations to catch would-be offenders in the act and CCTV provides a great tool to identify those we do not catch red handed.

“We will continue to work closely with train operating companies to tackle cycle crime.”
