A police spokeswoman, who said officers were called at 10am about the incident, said: ‘This resulted in a man riding a bicycle to collide with the victim. The man, who was with another male, then got off his bike and grabbed the victim by the arms, stealing his bicycle, an orange and blue Rockrider ST540 mountain bike. He wasn't seriously injured.’

Police want to hear from anyone in the area at the time who saw what happened, the moments leading up to it or the aftermath.

They said they particularly want to hear from a blonde girl in a Cams Hill school uniform, who they think saw what happened.
