A DAD chased down the culprit who tried to steal his daughter’s bike in Clarendon Avenue, Trowbridge on Sunday night.
An unlocked garage was entered around 9.30pm and a silver and turquoise ladies giant road bike was stolen. It was on the homeowners return from a dog walk that he noticed the garage door was open and security light on.
He then saw a suspect cycling past the house and managed to chase him down before taking the bike back near Green Lane.
Police are now looking to trace witnesses in a nearby car who might have seen what happened.
The suspect, who quickly made off from the scene, is described as a white boy aged 12-13 with short brown hair. It is believed he is from the Paxcroft area.
Anyone with information should contact Wiltshire Police on 101 or 0800 555 111.
