After recovering the bike and its cover just a short distance from the theft location, Avon and Somerset Police launched an investigation and are now appealing for help to identify two young male suspects, aged between 16 and 20, captured on CCTV.
The first suspect is described as wearing a face covering, black jogging bottoms with a white logo on the left thigh, a grey hooded jumper, and a black jacket. No further details have been confirmed about the second male.
