Update: 1700 hrs-Mon

From the owner of the bicycles

“The mans bike has been recovered.

It was being ridden through The Stow on Monday afternoon. A neighbour of ours approached the boy whose face was covered and he demanded money for the bike back. He demanded £110, which our neighbour has paid.

The ladies bike is still out there somewhere.

I will be contacting the police again with this information.

We have asked a couple of the shops for CCTV also.

AN APPEAL has been made after two bikes were stolen from Pennymead in Harlow.

They were stolen overnight (Saturday) after a shed was broken into.

The owners had been using the bikes as part of their daily exercise during lockdown.

Police have been informed and there is a CCTV set up which is being checked.
