THIS expensive red bike has been stolen from outside a leisure centre.

The £400 Voodoo was taken from outside Westgate Leisure Centre in Chichester at about 2pm on Saturday (June 26), police said.

A Sussex Police spokesman said a member of staff at the leisure centre had reported seeing a teenager cycle off on the bike followed by two others on foot.

All three were described as white males, aged in their late teens and about 5' 10" , thin wearing wearing dark tops with the hoods up and jeans.

The bike had been secured outside the leisure centre using a lock and metal cable.

PC Fiona Turnbull said the owner of the bike was a university student who cannot afford to replace it, and appealed for anyone who had any information to come forward.
