Man left baby unattended in buggy to urinate on railway station seats and steal bicycle

Police are searching for a man who left a baby unattended while he urinated at a railway station before stealing a teenager’s bicycle. British Transport Police (BTP) are appealing for information about the incident which happened at Coryton railway station in Cardiff, Wales, on Saturday, May 30, at about 7.45pm.



PC Chris Jones, who is investigating the incident, said: “The victim, a 15-year-old boy, locked his mountain bike to a lamp post at the station. However, when he returned later in the day, he discovered it had been stolen. “CCTV enquiries show a man entering the station with a baby in a pushchair.





“A short time later, he urinates on the seats in the waiting shelter before proceeding to rip a bicycle free of its lock. While stealing the bike, the child was left unattended in the pushchair, just a few feet away from the track. He then finishes a drink he had with him and throws the empty can on the floor before leaving the station with the stolen bike.”

The stolen Saracen mountain bike, which was black and white with front suspension, was worth around £300.
