Bikes stolen from NHS workers in “despicable” series of thefts

Police are appealing for information after receiving reports of stolen bikes from NHS staff in Stevenage.

Lister Hospital staff have reported four thefts in the past week.

Lister Hospital PCSO Ron Treadwell said: “Stealing a bike in itself is bad enough, but to steal from an NHS worker in these difficult times is truly despicable. We want to find this person/people as soon as possible and will be stepping up patrols around the hospital.

“We are asking for anyone who has been offered a bike or bike parts for sale to get in touch. Or if you know someone who is suddenly in possession of a new bike, let us know.”

Anyone with information is asked to contact Sergeant Duncan Hall directly via email at duncan.hall@herts.pnn.police.uk .
