A rare bicycle was stolen in a burglary.

The £2000 Felt F4 pedal bike, is one of only a few believed to be in circulation in the UK.

It was stolen from a garage during a burglary of a 51-year-old man's home in Harrow Road, Carshalton, on July 24.

A Sutton police spokesman said: “If anyone knows the whereabouts of this distinctive bike they are asked to contact Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 so we can re-unite the bike with its rightful owner.

"We are also urging residents to watch out for individuals trying to sell the bike on and anyone approached with an offer to buy this type of bike is asked to be vigilant."

The bike, with a white saddle, dropped handle bars and alloy wheels, has a frame number WUD61002380 and a serial number F003T2619.

Police asked residents to be vigilant during the hot weather and ensure all windows and doors were closed and locked at night to not allow easy access for burglars.
