CYCLISTS in Wyre Forest are being urged to step up security following the theft of two adult mountain bikes from a property in Kidderminster.

The two bikes were locked together in the back garden of a home in Park Lane when the incident occurred.

One was a promotional black bike, worth £150, with the word Strongbow in white. The other was a black and purple mountain bike worth £50.

Both were stolen some time between 6pm on Friday February 3 and 6am the following day.

A police spokesperson said: "Bike owners can improve security by getting a good bike lock and locking their bike to something secure."
