A WOMAN’S electric bike has been stolen by two men while she was riding it.
Police are appealing for information after the theft at around 4pm on Monday, July 11, on the cycle path by Galley Hill, Bexhill.
The woman was cycling from Bexhill towards St Leonards when she was approached by two men near the beach huts by Ravenside Retail Park.
One man abandoned his own bike and took the electric one. Both men then rode off with it.
The stolen cycle was a Scott electric bike in dark matte camo-green with tyres that have a cream trim.
The first man is white, slim, in his late teens or early twenties, with short dark hair. He was wearing a white top and had a bag over his shoulder.
The second is also white, around 5ft 10in, slim, in his late teens or early twenties. He was wearing all black and had acne around his chin.
Detective Constable Annie McGarvey said: “This would have been a scary incident for the victim who was casually going about her day before having her electric bike stolen.
“Although this is an isolated incident I would urge cyclists to visit to take precautions to protect their bike from theft, which can be found on our website.”
Anyone with information is asked to report it to police online by quoting serial number 914 of 11/07.
