A CCTV image of the suspect
A CCTV image has been released in the hunt for a suspected bike thief.
The 13-year-old victim left his bike outside the Co-op store in Nyetimber Lane, Bognor, for a few minutes.
The suspect, aged about 35, came from the store, picked the bike up and took it away.
He was wearing a camouflage jacket with stars on it and an emblem on the rear. The bike - a Voodoo Aizam model, black and red with 36 gears and the metal bars on the side are scratched - was stolen on Wednesday September 13 at about 5.13pm.
PC Grant Hebbelwhite said: “The victim saved £500 for the bike out of his own money and is very upset about it being stolen.”
Anyone with information is asked to call Sussex Police on 101 quoting serial 1097 of September 13.
