A CHILD has had his stolen bike returned to them after a resident found it dumped in Bacup.
The boy’s pink-framed BMX with blue handlebars was snatched from outside the One Stop Shop in King Street on Saturday evening.
It was discovered abandoned near the Futures Park by a passerby on Sunday, who took the bike to Waterfoot Police Station in Bacup Road.
A spokesman for Rossendale Police said: “The bike is being returned to its rightful owner.
“The other good news is the offender has been captured on CCTV and has been identified by the community policing team.”
