Theft Description
I'd locked it up by the bike shed behind the London Academy of Excellence in Stratford as I had a late shift at work, around 6pm on 4rth October 2016. I locked it up with a D lock through the back wheel and frame and then a cable lock through both the front wheel and back wheel and the bike rack itself. There was CCTV outside the premises, so I thought it'd be safe till the morning. I didn't the collect the bike as I was exhausted at work, and thought I would collect it in the morning (7am), by which point it had already been stolen. I went to reception at London Academy of Excellence and they said they saw someone fiddling with the bike around 3 am, literally 4 hours before I came to collect my bike. It was apparently a 10 minute job, and the thick cable lock had been cut through, and the assailant was seen walking towards Stratford Station and then took a right along Farthingale Walk towards the Courthouse. I am currently procuring CCTV footage from the government building located on Farthingale Walk, so we should be able to get a face, as that little lane, is usually well lit.
