We have issued CCTV images of man we would like to speak to following the theft of a bike in St Helens.

The bike – a black, blue, grey and white Scott Scale 960 – was secured with a padlock on the bike rack outside Sports Direct on King Street at around 12.25pm on Sunday 15^th September when an unknown male forced the padlock and rode off on it.
