POLICE are hunting six youths who were seen pushing bikes which were still wrapped up after a theft from a town firm.

The bicycles worth £1,500 were stolen from Oxleaslow Road on Sunday, October 17 at about 4.30pm.

The youths were seen pushing new bicycles along Palmers Road and towards Winyates.

Pc James Beard said: "If anyone is approached to buy a new Dawes bike in suspicious circumstances, I'd ask they get in touch with us.
