Thief stole bike from Huntingdon

A man who stole a bike from Huntingdon has been sentenced.

The victim contacted police on 10 August after his silver Carrera Vulcan bike was stolen from outside Sainsbury’s in Germain Walk.

Officers reviewed CCTV and identified 39-year-old Danny Bygrave as being responsible.

At Huntingdon Magistrates’ Court on Thursday (5 September), Bygrave, of Turner Road, Colchester, was sentenced to eight weeks in prison, suspended for a year. He previously pleaded guilty to two counts of bike theft and possession of a class A drug

PC Jack Hayden, who investigated, said: “For many people, a bike can be a lifeline and their only method of transport and/or their tool for exercise.

“We recognise the impact these thefts can have on people’s lives and we’re committed to catching those responsible and putting them before the courts.”
