Child's bike stolen as owner went swimming

Black-coloured Mazda 6 was seen in the area with a similar bike in the boot.

While the weather might have many heading for the shade, there are others who remain on the prowl with criminal intent on their minds.

A child’s bike was stolen from the Lisnalong area of Cootehill (Ballybay Road) on Sunday last, August 7.

The Apollo branded bike was taken between 7-8pm at a time when the owner was swimming in a nearby lake.

A black-coloured Mazda 6 was seen in the area with a similar bike in the boot around that same time and gardaí are appealing to members of the public to assist them with their enquiries and track the movements of the sighted vehicle.

Anyone with information which may be of use can contact gardaí in Bailieborough on 042 9694570.
