Join Young Friends Against Scams and learn how to spot the warning signs, stay safe online, and help others do the same.

Please find attached some pictures of a ‘ Santa Cruz model stigmata mustard yellow color / road / gravel bike, and the Vw California camper van it was attached on.

It was stolen on 10 August between 3:30 pm and 6:30pm on Hampshire terrace (opposite the Portsmouth university ) when the van was parked outside a letting agency Morris Dibben.

The owners were visiting Portsmouth, before going away on a trip on Brittany Ferries. The bike holds sentimental value to them, as it was used in a cross Great Britain cycle ride. The metal chain was cut during the robbery.

If anyone has any CCTV in this area that might be of help, please contact the Police with it.

If anyone sees this bike, please report it immediately to the Police. Do NOT approach the persons with the bike, as they may have bought it from someone, or if they are the crooks, they may be violent.

Thanks for your help,
