I locked my bike in teh bike shelter at the front of the Cockroft Building of the University of Brighton at 0730; when I went back to get it at 1830 it was gone. This may or may not be related but I contacted the caretaker to report the theft of my bike and when he arrived 5 mins later we looked out so I could show him where it had been and two white males were at the bike stand. One was pumping up the tire of a bmx, the other had a mountain bike and a key operated lock. The caretaker asked if they were associated with the university and what they were doing. They said they had left a bike with a flat tire there earlier and had returned with a pump. He queried the lock. He then said he was asking questions because there had been a theft and the two guys cycled off cutting across Lewes Road heading into Brighton. They may have been stealing one of the two bikes, using the pumping activity as a shield. CCTV footage will be explored. |
