TWO men have been arrested after a bike worth £12,000 was stolen in York.
The owner of the bike, a 42-year-old man from a village near Selby, had been competing in the British Cycling National Circuit Race Championship in the city centre on Sunday.
After the event, his red and black Pinarello road bike was taken from the roof rack of a vehicle parked on The Mount at about 4pm.
Two local men aged 18 and 19 have been arrested in connection with the theft, but the bike is still missing. They remain in police custody for questioning.
PC Damion Liversidge, of York police, said: “I appealing to anyone who knows where the bike is or has been offered it for sale, to get in touch with the police or Crimestoppers. The victim needs the bike to enable him to compete for the rest of the season and is obviously anxious to have it returned to him.”
Anyone with information, or who has been offered the bike for sale should contact North Yorkshire Police on 101, email damion.liversidge@northyorkshire.pnn.police.uk or phone Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555111.
