QUOTE:
AN ELDERLY man returning a trolley to a Poole supermarket bay turned to see a thief run towards his electric bike and pedal off on it.

The victim, who is in his 80s, was leaving the Tesco store in Poole Road, Branksome when the incident happened at around 10.15am on Tuesday, January 21.

Police investigating the theft say the victim had put his shopping on his bike before leaving it to return his trolley. As he walked back, he saw a man run towards the bike and ride off on it down Poole Road towards the Wessex Way.

The bicycle is a black Kalkhoff Agattu 17ah, which cost £2,100 when new three years ago.

Police Community Support Investigator Adam Cleaver, of Poole police, has now released CCTV images of a man he wants to speak to in connection with the theft.

"This theft has had a huge impact on the victim as the bicycle was his main mode of transport," he said.

“We have made a number of enquiries into this incident and I am now in a position to release CCTV images of a man we would like to speak to.

“I would urge anyone with information as to his identity to please contact us.

“I would also urge anyone who may have seen a bicycle matching the description for sale in unusual circumstances to please get in touch.�
