A RARE and distinctive bicycle, designed for a rider over 6ft 6in tall, has been stolen from a cycle rack outside council offices in Gloucestershire.

The bicycle, a Muddy Fox Turner 5 mountain bike, was stolen from outside Stroud District Council offices at Ebley Mill shortly before 1pm on Tuesday, April 28.

There are only a very few of this particular model in the country. The thief cut through the ā€˜Dā€™ bike lock and made off with the bike.

This valuable Sasquatch black bicycle has a full suspension frame and no gears.

A man suspected of stealing it is described as white, 6ft 2in tall with facial hair, wearing a hoody with red arms, jeans, and with a rucksack on his back.

Anyone who has information about this burglary, or who has recently seen or been offered a bike similar to that in the attached photos, is asked to contact Gloucestershire Police on 101, quoting incident 229 of April 28 and Crime Reference CR/9462/15.
