A young boy was robbed of his £2,500 bike.

Police are appealing for witnesses after the incident outside St John the Evangelist Church, in Civic Way, Burgess Hill, at around 3pm on Sunday, November 10.

The 13-year-old was approached by two unknown boys aged about 15, one of who threatened violence if the victim did not hand over his bike. They then made off in the direction of Norman Road.

The bike stolen was a red Trek Top Fuel 8, valued at approximately £2,500.

A Sussex Police spokesman said: “Anyone who saw what happened or captured any relevant dash cam, mobile or CCTV footage, is asked to report it online or call 101, quoting serial 588 of 10/11.”
