British Transport Police have released an image of a man they would like to speak to in connection with a bike theft at Apsley Station.
A 36-year-old woman from Hemel Hempstead left her bike at Apsley station at around 9am on Wednesday, May 8, and when she returned at around 9.15pm the cycle and lock were gone.
Police have since reviewed CCTV footage from the station and identified a man they believe can help.
Investigating officer PC Chris Woolley said: “I would ask anyone who recognises the man pictured, or knows his whereabouts, to please get in touch.
“Sadly, bicycles are 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’s 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. “
Anyone with information is asked to contact British Transport Police by calling 0800 405040 or texting 61016 quoting reference B3/LNA of 07/06/2013.
