British Transport Police release images of Birmingham bike theft suspects

British Transport Police are appealing for help in tracking down suspected bike thieves caught on camera at two railway stations in Birmingham.

The thefts have all taken place since the start of the year at New Street or Moor Street stations.

PC Nick Tatlow said: "The officers investigating these cases have followed a number of lines of enquiry and circulated these images on police intelligence systems to try and get names for these people, but to no avail so far.

“Now we are calling on members of the public to help identify them. If you know who these people are, or if you have any information about the thefts, we want to hear from you.”

He added: “Officers regularly undertake covert and high-profile operations to catch cycle thieves in the act, working closely with other police forces to share information and identify offenders. “

Here are the images, together with details of the specific thefts supplied by police.
