A set of black handlebars were stolen from a BMX bike belonging to someone with autism.

The handlebars were stolen from the Mongoose BMX bike in Sedge Way, Carterton, between 6pm on Friday, November 4 and 10.45am on Saturday, November 5.

PC Tracey Frazer, of Witney police station, said: “The bike means everything to the victim, who has autism. He cannot ride his bike without the handlebars and his mother cannot afford to replace them.”
