On Saturday 11 June at about 1.30pm, my son (aged 12) was 'relieved' of his Mongoose Crossway 850 bike. He was out with his friends in Falkland Road, N8 and a man of about 20-25 thought that he should have the bike. The man cycled off on it towards Wightman Road and then towards Finsbury Park. The bike is black with yellow markings. It has the original Bontrager back wheel but the front wheel is different. We had bought the bike about a month earlier.
I spotted the bike yesterday (Sun 26 June) afternoon. A young black man was riding it. He turned in front of me from Wightman Road into Duckett Road. The bike now has 2 back lights. Please keep a look out for it.

Will do. Think I've seen this guy riding various bikes in Falkand Rd recently.
That's awful Yvonne, I'm glad your son is okay. I'll keep an eye out for it too.
Stolen bikes often moved on through ebay so might be worth keeping a watch on that
Sadly not sure what good it's going to do you to either see someone riding it locally or see it on ebay.
Hi Andy
We reported the theft straight away. The police arrived shortly after to take statements and my son and I had a ride around with them to see if he could identify the thief. I reported my sighting on Sunday and they said that they would send out an alert locally. My son was asked to go to the robbery squad office in Tottenham to look at picture sand see if he could identify the man. I can not fault the police in our dealings with them on this. Unfortunately we did not take a note of the frame number.
