Thief ditches old bicycle for upgrade in Swindon morning robbery

A VooDoo bicycle has been stolen from the garden of a Swindon home.

At around 7.30am this morning, 23 March, a thief rode off on the black and orange bicycle while it was left unattended for a short period of time.

Ditching their grey Raleigh mountain at the scene on Stafford Street,  the thieving man made off on his upgraded VooDoo bicycle. But, the victim was in hot pursuit – chasing him to Pizza Hut on Groundwell Road. Unfortunately, the thief made a fast getaway.
