“He left his blue mountain bike in the bike stand area of one carriage and sat in the next carriage. When he went to collect it as the train approached Axminster, he realised it had been taken.”

    “If the guy got off at Feniton around 9.30pm he probably lives nearby. Someone must recognise him.”
