Police are appealing for witnesses after a distinctive bike was stolen from outside a city leisure centre.

The cycle was taken from a group of four locked up together in a bike storage area at the Westgate Leisure Centre in Chichester.

The bike is a bright blue Whyte 405 with orange writing on the frame and 26 inch wheels with a child-sized frame.

It also has retrofitted Magura disc brakes on both wheels and clear stickers on the frame to protect it from scratches.

Anyone who witnessed anything suspicious around the time or has seen the bike since the reported theft is asked to contact police online or via 101, quoting serial 972 of 29/01.
