Police would like to speak with this man after a bike was stolen from Rochester railway station.

His picture, along with those of four other men, was released by officers investigating a series of bike thefts from stations across the county.

The man in this photograph is believed to have taken a red and black mountain bike belonging to a man from Rochester.

The 30-year-old had left his bike in cycle racks at the station before it is thought to have been taken at about 5.30pm on Monday, March 14.

Someone, thought to be the man in the photograph, was later seen riding the bike along Rochester High Street.

Bikes were also stolen from stations in Ashford, Maidstone, Herne Bay and Otford.

A British Transport Police spokesman said: "Officers investigating each of these cases have made inquiries, followed up numerous leads and circulated the images on police intelligence systems in a bid to identify these people, but to no avail so far.

"We are now asking for the public's help to identify these five men. If you know them we want to hear from you.

"Cycles are a popular target for thieves but there are several steps people can take to ensure their bikes are adequately marked and secured to help reduce the risk of theft."

If you recognise the man in the picture, call 0800 405040.
