A bicycle worth £4,000 belonging to a Team GB triathlete has been stolen from a cycle rack.

Police have launched an appeal to trace a man in connection to the theft of the Pinarello bicycle which belongs to Jessica Earp.

The bicycle was parked and locked, with the front wheel removed, to a rack in Malet Street, Camden, on September 12.

Police said in CCTV footage a man can be seen riding up to the bike before stealing a wheel from another parked cycle.

He then attached the wheel to the Pinarello, cuts the lock and rides off, leaving his jacket behind.

The suspect is described as white, in his early 20s and wearing a light grey jumper, dark gey short, a black and silver cycle helmet as well as a black rucksack.

Anyone with information can call 020 8733 6846 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
