“While out they came across two youths sat on a park bench on Kingsway Park.

“All seemed fine at first, but the tables soon turned when the Kingsway two decided to run off after officers challenged them for smoking what they believed to be cannabis.

“However, not all was lost, as a bike and cannabis grinder were left behind in their great escape.

“If you recognise the fine mode of transport as yours, please do get in touch with us and we will arrange getting it back to you.”
