A bike thief who was chased by a member of the public ditched his ill-gotten gains by the side of Elmcroft Avenue.
The thief ran off after being challenged last Friday night, leaving the very smart bike behind – it is now being stored by a resident who is anxious to find the rightful owner. The police are aware of the incident.
So anyone who has lost a bike is invited to drop us a line at wansteadium@gmail.com with a description – if it matches then we can facilitate a reunion.
