Three bikes - including one which features a professional cycling sticker - have been reported stolen from a St Albans shed.

Police in Hertfordshire are investigating a burglary following the disappearance of the bikes at around 1.30am on Tuesday, August 30.

One of the bikes, a Cannondale Topstone 2020, is said to be "very distinctive" because it features a HAEMATOCRIT Pro Cycling logo.

Detective Constable Katie Wilkinson is investigating.

DC Wilkinson said: "I’d like to hear from anyone who saw or heard anything suspicious in Tavistock Avenue, St Albans in the early hours of last Tuesday.

"In addition, have you seen these bikes or been offered them for sale?

"The Cannondale Topstone is very distinctive as the HAEMATOCRIT logo is completely unique to the owner and no one else would have it."
