“He left his blue mountain bike in the bike stand area of one carriage and sat in the next carriage. When he went to collect it as the train approached Axminster, he realised it had been taken.”

Enquiries have been ongoing to find the person responsible but to no avail. After reviewing CCTV, officers would now like to speak to the man in these photographs as they believe he will have key information. This man travelled from Exeter to Feniton on board the train.

PC Warne added: “Officers work tirelessly to crack down on cycle theft, which cause victims great distress, often leaving them stranded and having to find other means to get home.
